The most important belief that I hold when it comes to technology and education was brought to my attention through taking this Instructional Media class. I was made aware just how amazing technology can be! I want to use technology in every lesson I teach in the future. I want to somehow incorporate technology so that the students realize just how important it is to understand how to use technology because it can be very useful in the real world.
Another belief that I hold regarding this topic is that technology needs to be used as a positive learning tool rather than a learning distraction. I want my students to see that texting in class and playing games on their phones isn't as beneficial as composing a podcast that alerts other students about the dangers of using drugs. I want them to know that technology should be used to the highest capacity rather than just "lol"ing.
Last but not least, I believe that technology in the classroom should be used as a useful resource. Students shouldn't just go online and copy and paste to get projects over with, but rather search through articles that interest them and find things that inspire them to learn more. Computers in my classroom will serve as the modern day dictionary, encyclopedia, atlas, and etc. They will turn to technology with questions they have on any topic and be sure that it is a relevant answer they are receiving.
