I expected more from this field experience.
There are so many thoughts and emotions, but overall I can start seeing the class as my classroom. I think as a future educator I cannot have expectations in my mind because disappointments can trail behind. There are so many things I wish could be different, but it is what it is. During my time in the Kindergarten class, I am able to see how the classroom with technology has changed. I do agree that technology does bring students to have a more engaged intake in their education, which is great! Most of the time I observe how the teacher incorporates technology in her lessons. This is a great opportunity to learn what to do in my future classroom. I really hope this experience can help me for the future that lays ahead of me. P.S. I never really had a "newly-weds" feeling when I started, but I have become more comfortable in approaching correction.
It's neat that you're learning now how to incorporate technology in a classroom. Even in a classroom as young as kindergarten. Earlier the better is what they say. The only technology in my classroom right now is the smart board and the chrome books the kids use for audio books. Which I think is kinda cool cause it helps the lower level students who struggle a lot with reading & there is quite a few in my class :(
ReplyDeleteYou expected more from this field experience in what way? What things are happening that aren't meeting your expectations? What things are disappointing to you? What kinds of behavior have you had to correct? Overall, do you feel good about your placement and experience? I'm also glad to hear that you're learning about how to use technology in the classroom at any age!
