Questions
• What is the meaning of “developing a personal vision of learning technology?”
• Why is this activity important to you as a current or future teacher?
• Is the document you produce intended to be simply archived and forgotten or will it become a lifelong guiding influence for your teaching with technology?
Role of Technology
• Technology alone does not guarantee excellent teaching/learning experiences
• Technology facilitates the learning process
• Teaching strategies, learner characteristics, teacher collaboration, and learning environments or settings are combined in the presence of the tools of technology to craft the learning experience
A vision includes…
• a reflection of past experiences with technology
• an assessment of current skills and attitudes
• inclusion of personal ideas
• broad statements with only the most important details
Importance of a Vision
• Clearly demonstrates where you are and where you want to be with using teaching/learning technology
• Delineates your role, your relationships with supervisors, peers, and students, and with technology
• Helps guide you to a desired outcome as an outstanding teacher who knows how to effectively employ technology to engage students and improve their lives through learning.
• Provides inspiration to you each day as an inner source of self-motivation
