Module 12

1. My Original Philosophy of
Teachnology
I believe that while technology may play a part
in my classroom, it is not necessary for
learning or success.

2. Revising My Philosophy


My original philosophy was based only off of
my personal experiences in school
I have since obtained more knowledge
which has forced me to reconsider my
philosophy of teachnology

3. UDL
Universal Design for Learning is a method of
curriculum development where educators
attempt to proactively design learning
environments to reduce or eliminate barriers
to student learning.

5. e-learning/Mobile Learning


While they are not synonymous, both forms
of learning will change the role of the
teacher and the classroom.
The idea that someone with internet and a
device or pc can learn what they want,
where they want, at their own pace has
incredible potential for lifelong learning.

6. ATL and school funding

I think ATL's are
great because a lot
of the software is
useful for learners
without disabilities
as well.


Unfortunately,
funding can make it
difficult to provide
technology for
everyone.
I do not believe
exclusive contracts
with tech providers
has the students
best interests in
mind

7. Learning Theories



If everyone has preferences to learning,
educators must take this into consideration
when developing lesson plans.
I feel that optimal learning is possible when
the theories are blended to suit the content
being presented.
In conjunction with learning theories,
technology will have a major impact in what
my role as a teacher is and will continue to
change as technology becomes further
entrenched into society.

8. My Revised Philosophy
I believe that as an educator it is my responsibility to teach
ethical practices regarding technology in order to empower
students.
Through technology I hope to shape socially aware, openminded citizens with a desire to contribute that isn't driven
solely by economic incentive .
I will attempt to accomplish this through flexible curriculum
development and revision along with a critical eye towards
technology and its correlations to consumerism.
