Reflection

Technology is changing the way we interact with others as well as providing accessibility to more information than ever before. Staying up to date with the changes will require continual learning on my part. I believe that it is necessary for me to create an environment that will also enable the student to be a continual learner.

In reflecting on my most recent Walden University class, Supporting Information Literacy and Online Inquiry in the Classroom (EDUC - 6712I - 3), I have learned how to prepare effective lessons using the internet for research activities by my students. By demonstrating and modeling safe and evaluative methods for searching the internet, I will be teaching life skills to my students. I also learned that citing sources is necessary and important and that I must actively discuss and demonstrate the proper ways in which to give credit to an internet author.

This summer I plan to take additional technology courses through my school’s IT department so that I can continue learning how to integrate technology into my class curriculum.
