Reflection

EDUC-6714I-4 Reaching and Engaging All Learners Through Technology

Instructor: Christopher Calvin

As this course comes to an end, I reflect back on all that I have learned. I not only have been able to use more technological tools with my students, but I have also learned that I am truly confident in the way that I incorporate technology into my classroom. This class has taught me that with the resources we have used, I am able to meet the needs of all of my learners effectively.

I also have learned that it is alright to ask for advice or help from peers. I have learned so much through discussions that have taken place throughout this course. I have received many great websites to use in my own classroom with the diversity of my class. These websites, such as:

• http://www.uhseport.net/published/k/sh/kshaw/collection/1/
• http://www.manhattan.k12.ca.us/staff/pware/diff/
• http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=3747932

With these sites, I am able to use UDL effectively with each of my students. With the use of technology, students are able to strive and gather their knowledge through a variety of resources.

With every child different, every child having a need to learn differently, and every teacher with a different learning style, it is important that I as a teacher, can customize the curriculum and the activities so that each of my students are able to gather knowledge.

Technology plays a large role in the classroom. By using it daily, my students are able to be creative and be engaged in the lesson. I want to make sure that I am able to continue my professional growth so that I am able to continue to benefit the needs of my students through instruction.
