The End is Near!

In what ways have you deepened your knowledge of the teaching and learning process?
I have deepened my knowledge by reaching out more into the technology field and incorporating it into my classroom with my students.

In what ways have you changed your perspective from being teacher-centered to learner-centered?
I believe the students learn more when they are in charge, so it is a goal of mine to make my lessons more learner-centered.

In what ways can you continue to expand your knowledge of learning, teaching, and leading with technology with the aim of increasing student achievement?
Through my Master's program, I will continue to expand my knowledge. I am also planning to take advantage of many in-service opportunities that my county offers.

Set two long-tem goals (within two years) for transforming your classroom environment by which you may have to overcome institutional or systemic obstacles in order to achieve them. How do you plan to accomplish these goals?
My first goal is to obtain and implement the use of a Promethian board. Through the stimulus money given to Title I schools, I have requested one. However, if I do not receive it, I plan to write a grant asking for one.
The second goal is to create as much of a paperless classroom as possible. I will do this by using more technology based activities such as wikis, blogs, and movies with my students.

Refer to your checklist from Week 1. Have any of your answers changed after completing this course?

I think many of my answers have remained the same. I am still looking forward to getting that Promethian board!
