I have no formal educator experience, and no current desire to become an educator per se. I am, however, a supporter of educators. As such, I think the value in this course for me is to understand more deeply the challenges and also the perspective of educators who adopt technology. I will have to find resources that might help me understand the pedagogical perspective where I may already have technology understanding. The ISTE educator standard 1c is to stay current with research including findings from learning sciences. In areas of the course where I feel I have the right understanding of technology, I hope to pursue relevant research that connects the technology to pedagogy that might help me understand perspectives outside of my own.
