February 1

It's hard to believe that it is the first day of February! I have made good progress on this course. I recently completed Module 5 which was a great module. Creating a growth plan really made me question where I want to be in terms of technology in my teaching career. The video posted at the beginning on Module 5 was a very enlightening video. It made me see that technology is not only a great benefit to teachers but even more so to students. This quote is one of my favorite from the video: "It's not just about the technology its self, its about unleashing the powers that students bring with them into the classroom." This is so true! If students are engaged and empowered then they learn better and have more confidence. Perhaps as teachers we should try to incorporate more "student led" teaching of what they know. We can all learn from each other.
