* Reflect on the “Personal Theory of Learning” you developed in Week 1. Summarize any modifications to your personal theory of learning you have made as a result of your learning in this course.
I would not change my Personal Theory of Learning that I wrote at the beginning of this course. I think I do a good job of ensuring that all my children are included in the learning process. I strive to differentiate my instruction to accommodate the needs of each child in my classroom.
* Describe any immediate adjustments you will make to your instructional practice regarding technology integration as a result of your learning in this course. Identify two technology tools you would like to use with your students and how the tools will support or enhance your students’ learning.
One adjustment that I have made in my classroom is that I ensure we have two opportunities each week to utilize hands-on technology. We have a laptop cart in our classroom all day on Wednesday. We all take time in the morning to work on Study Island, iStation, or Spelling City. It is also a time that students can work on research they need for an assignment. On Thursday afternoon we have a laptop cart for Spelling City and then we use BrainPop for Social Studies and/or Science.
* List two long-term goal changes you would like to make to your instructional practice regarding technology integration and outline a strategy for achieving them.
I want to do some research this summer to incorporate more technology in my classroom. I want to ensure that I am using technology in the correct way such as teaching and learning technology.
I also want to spend more time teaching using technology instead of the textbooks. I think that students learn quicker and retain more information when we move away from textbooks and use technology for teaching and learning.
