My Beliefs

I have learned since elementary school that technology is important and as I got older it became a greater part of my life.  As a future teacher, I want my students to understand that technology isn't something to be scared of or something to be taken lightly.  I want them to see what it does for us and how it can enhance their learning.  

I believe that without technology, life would not progress.  We would still be in the dark ages were people died because of disease and only the wealthy were educated.  I want them to realize that technology doesn't just mean things that are electronic because that is what most people believe.  I people that technology are things that have been invented to make our lives better.  For example: electric lights, TV, cars, prescription classes, laser eye surgery, heaters, indoor plumbing, etc.

I want my students to appreciate technology as much or more than I do.  I want them to be able to use it in everyday life and to teach  others how to use it.
