What should I know about
technology integration?
Map out our learning path.
Without knowing where we're going, how will we know
when we get there? With this being said, I think it's important for us
to manage our own learning process. The best teachers are life-long
learners which emans they'll continue to learn and seek out learning
opportunities throughout their entire career. This helps them develop
into better teachers, and in turn, provide better learning experiences
for their students. It's not only important to practice this, but also
to model it. Therefore, we will be establishing a KWL chart (What you
KNOW, What you WANT to know, and What you've LEARNED). This will be
kept on our wiki and you will be expected to fill it out as the
semester continues. This will outline our syllabus and help me to
better meet your needs and interests.
