Module 1 Summary and Reflection

* Where are you now, in terms of your own teaching practice and the inclusion of educational technology in that process?

It's hard to say right now where I am with regard to my own teaching practice, especially as it relates to the inclusion of education technology in that process, as I do not currently have a contract nor am I currently teaching. I know that when I have been teaching in the past, I have made extensive efforts to include technology in the process, both for the advantages it offers me and for the advantages it offers to my students.

* What kind of change do you hope to see as a result of this class?

I would hope to gain a better understanding of the foundations which underpin my own theories of how I learn and how my students learn, so that I can better address the educational needs of my students. My approach to teaching is constantly evolving as I experience new ways to teach, and as I observe the work of others around me.

* How might your knowledge and experiences influence the actions of those around you?

My knowledge and experiences influence the actions of those around me by demonstrating to them new ways of approaching a subject. I have already seen this in my teaching, where I have been approached by my colleagues to help them understand and set up wikis of their own with their classes, which was something I did with my English classes last year. I am always looking for opportunities to share knowledge with my colleagues, either formally or informally, and have been involved in numerous discussions about how I use technology to enhance learning for my students.
