In my experience, you can lead an educator to technology however, you can not make them prep.<\/p>\n

Technology is most certainly not a \u201cvitamin\u201d that can be consumed with the expectation that benefits will passively and spontaneously appear. I very much align myself with Dede\u2019s view on technology\u2019s purpose within classrooms: \u201c\u2026emerging interactive media are tools in service of richer curricula, enhanced pedagogies, more effective organization structures, stronger links between schools and society, and the empowerment of disenfranchised learners.\u201d (Kozma, 2003)<\/p>\n

Designers of technology enhanced learning experiences are best served by staying true to their core pedagogical beliefs. As individual learners are unique, so are educators.\u00a0 My strengths as an educator will differ from my colleagues, therefore the technology that I utilize may also<\/del> look different. In math and science, I believe that the best way to utilize technology is to focus on three questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How can I bring science or math into my classroom in ways that I otherwise could not?<\/li>\n
  2. How can technology be used to maximize social learning interactions (student-teacher or student-student)?<\/li>\n
  3. How can technology be used to increase engagement, curiosity, and overall excitement to learn?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
