This reading has impacted my thinking about technology because it has made me more aware of the advantages as using technology such as weblogs when teaching in the classrooms. Using weblogs when teaching are great because not only are you teaching students about technology and the things it has to offer us, but you are creating an environment online for them to share and communicate ideas. This could be effective in many ways but one of the ways it could be effective is by having students hold online discussions. This might make it easier for some students to participate, who would normally be reluctant to because they are shy, don’t like talking in front of large groups, ect. By having your students communicate a discussion online, you are creating an atmosphere that might make it easier for students to communicate because you are giving them the opportunity to voice their opinions without having to talk in front of others. By giving them the opportunity to participate in a world where they feel more comfortable, you are encouraging them to be a more active student.
When teaching with technology to my future students, I hope to remember this quote, “the possibilities are endless.” I feel that this quote has a lot of truth to it not only for a teacher but also as a learner. And if I remember one thing from this reading to use in my future as a teacher, it is to instill that quote in the minds of my students because the truth is that whether you are talking about technology or something out, the possibilities are really endless!
