Reflection

After re-reading my blog about what it means to be a teacher leader in the Digital Age and how I am going to use what I have learned in this class in my future course, my perspective has not changed. It has been strengthened. Our students need to be immersed in technology, but they need to be taught to use it appropriately. We as teacher leaders need to instruct our students and fellow teachers to embrace the technology and to realize that it is an amazing medium with which to teach and explore our world to become literate in the things that truly matter. Technology, especially in my content area- social studies, will enlighten my students about the many different cultures in our state, country, and world. They will learn to be an active part in our globalized economy which is imperative to their success as individuals and professionals. If we can share all the amazing things that can be accomplished by consistently implementing technology in our classrooms, we will have more engagement and success from our students.
