I have had an entire semester to reflect on my educational philosophy and decide how it has changed as a result of this educational technology class. Do I think it has changed greatly, No I do not, has it changed some Yes, most definitely! How has it changed? I think first it has changed in the fact that before I saw that our classrooms needed to be student-centered BUT I was unaware really how to do that. Now as a result of this class, I now know how to put the learning right in the students hands and really have them do collaborative learning through Web 2.0 applications such as podcast, blogging, wikis, and digital learning.
I still believe that we as teachers need to find ways to meet learners different styles of learning and after this class I feel more equipped to do just that. I also think that having students strive to meet the highest level of blooms taxonomy isn't out of reach due to the technology applications right at their and our fingertips!
My teaching philosophy is ever-changing and I believe that as a lifelong learner it will continue to change. But I also think that is the reason teachers are good teachers, they reflect on what works, what doesn't and how to meet each students individual needs so that they can be successful!
