EQ1 How can I become successful in using technology as a tool for communication, productivity, research, and instruction in my future teaching practice?
1) I believe I can become successful in using technology, in all its forms, in my future classroom through frequent use and willingness to learn. If I am open to new forms of technology and ways to go about implementing them in a classroom setting, I will cross the first hurdle in assimilation. Daily use will entrench it and a constant search of ways to improve will keep me up-to-date and competent.
2) Learning circles will benefit me in that I will be able to bounce ideas off of my circle mates and vice versa, creating a web of knowledge that we will all share. In this web, each individual will bring their own thread and together we will not only share ideas with each other but form new ideas through the combination of our inputs. Learning circles would also help in a more basic sense, allowing us to keep up with one another and provide help/encouragement when necessary.
That encouragement can benefit you in all aspects of teaching. I consider many of my colleagues as a "learning circle" of friends who are helpful in managing and improving my classroom.
