About my philosophy of teachnology
- 1. About My Philosophy of Teachnology Kam Weigel
- 2. OK SO HERE’S THE DEAL • When I first considered my Philosophy of Teachnology, it was basically this: – “Technology can definitely enhance a student’s learning experience, but it cannot and should not replace the guidance and support of the teacher”. • Having literally grown up with the internet, this took little thought to process.
- 3. AND THEN THE SEMESTER HAPPENED MY PHILOSOPHY THEN MY PHILOSOPHY NOW • “Technology can definitely enhance a student’s learning experience, but it cannot and should not replace the guidance and support of the teacher”. • “Technology can definitely enhance a student’s learning experience, but it cannot and should not replace the guidance and support of the teacher”.
- 4. WAIT, WHAT? • As I consider it more and more, I realize just how overrated technology is in teaching. • I have encountered an absolute plethora of apps and other technologies meant for education. I found in only a few of them any value when it comes to helping students learn and retain information. – GEOGEBRA, STORYBIRD, ETC. • Some make teaching easier, maybe, but not more effective, like that horrifyingly stupid writing jar app.
- 5. TECHNOLOGY AIN’T THAT BAD THO • And it certainly is not. Please understand that I am not technophobic. • Apps like Storybirds do have actual value, and actually enhance learning in students. • Exploring concepts through student-created stories is an AMAZING IDEA HOLY SHIT. • ALSO DEM VISUALS.
- 6. TL;DR • All teachnology has done is made me realize the true value of a really, really good teacher. One who is really passionate and interested about their subject and ignites the same passion and interest in their students. One who can and will help students grow to become decent, functional human beings. That’s who I want to be as a teacher. Fuck grades, and fuck money. I want to help influence the future.
- 7. I WANT TO BE THIS RAD OF A TEACHER. FUCKING RAINBOWS, MAN.
