My Beliefs

When it comes to technology in the classroom, I think it entirely depends on the experience of the teacher. The more comfortable a teacher is with technology, they more students will want to use it. The more they see a teacher use technology and have fun with it, the more they will want to explore and have fun with it. It is the same with anything in the classroom, if a teacher doesn’t like art, their students will not like art, if a teacher doesn’t like science, their students won’t like science. However, the same is true for teacher passions. The subjects teachers are passionate about their students will be passionate about.

The other thing that teachers need it training and that responsibility is not entirely on the school district. The teacher needs to seek out information on the internet and in local workshops in places like public libraries in order to use the technology they have in the classroom. If they do not know how to use what they have, they will not be comfortable enough to use it in the classroom or in a lesson. The more confidence a teacher has with their equipment, the more they will use it.
