This is an open personal essay about demonstrating deep thought about course material (issues and topics) and the implication in practice in a classroom as a teacher. It needs to be 5 pages and the deadline is on Friday June 23rd by 7pm MST, in 3 days.
Below are links and sources, this is the course material you will use to base the essay off of. I also uploaded a file containing journal entries that I have written about based on course content and applications, hopefully it can help you get a better understanding of what I am looking for, but the main information should come from the ‘necessary information’ below.
Here are some guiding questions to help facilitate what the essay should be about and address:
-Do you think the use of technology in education is ethical?
Circumstances where it becomes more ethical? Less ethical?
-How did the course materials inform your understanding of
the technologies that you use everyday? Google, home smart devices, social
media?
-what significant ideas will you take away and how will these
ideas inform your understanding of teaching with technology?
-How do you think your students interactions with
technologies will impact their future learning?
-by using technology in the classroom our educators
sensitizing students towards technology?
-What are your thoughts about how and why educators are
mandating students to interact with technology?
-Do you feel a moral obligation to help your students develop
a philosophy of technology? How would you do so?
-What does a balanced use of technology look like?
