It was one of my hopes when taking this course that I would spend some time familiarizing myself with some of the different options available for incorporating technology into my classroom, so that when it comes time to actually use it I will be ready as an experienced professional to engage my students.
Considering the possibilities of 21st century learning I feel teachers have a duty to ensure students are ready to become productive members of the increasingly digitally capable workforce. Advocating the proper ethical use of digital information is a relatively new duty that we need to we need to emphasize in today’s classrooms.
With the increasing movement toward globalisation students would be best served by having an understanding of the various communication options available and encouraged to develop relationships with peers in a digital context. I hope to explore new options for making that a reality through my studies in this course.
