New and Emerging Technology Reflection

As this course and my journey to complete my master’s degree come to an end I have learned so much more than I could have ever imagined. This course has brought about an eagerness to change the way I teach students. This course alone has taught me how to create and implement technology into my lessons easily. It is my hope that my students will enjoy learning and continue to do so as they continue their education.


Educators should promote technology to build student interest and keep them engaged in learning and therefore build their knowledge by using technology tools that further their education. Using technology and all the wonderful resources that can be utilized helps students become aware of all the different tools they can use create artifacts and also help them in the working world. This course facilitates the belief that technology is a great source to differentiate lessons for all unique learners, connecting with students and encourage the use of technology in the classroom. Encouraging students to be successful through the use of technology helps adjust or modify lessons to fit the needs of all learners. Making modifications to lessons will assist students overall learning.

I have learned many different types of technology uses and how to take teaching to a whole new level of excitement. It is my hope the I can continue to encourage my co teachers and colleagues to take baby steps and begin implementing technology into their lesson. I hope they will rely on me for support and realize that it is our job to prepare our students for their future.
