As I was viewing these life long learning habits, I was trying to pay close attention as to what challenges me and what comes natural. Habit number 4 caught my eye on the challenging part. It was dealing with having confidence in yourself as a competent, and an effective learner. I will be the first one to admit that I second guess myself all the time. I have had teachers embarrass me infront of class if I have a problem wrong. Since then, I have always found it challenging for me to volunteer to present any problems in class because I fear the teacher will embarrass me.
When it comes to the easier end, habit number 6 was close down my alley. My mom is a computer technician, so she knows everything there is practically when it comes to computers. So, for the most part dealing with technology comes pretty natural. I am fascinated with technology and the activities you can create with it, especially for education purposes.
By using Web 2.0, I hope to be able to implement new ways to engage children to learn. Teaching at the Middle School level, they are all about technology, so I hope to be able to set up an ideal learning environment using technology to help them learn. I will admit though, if I did not have these guidelines on how to set things up I would be losing my mind. As much as I love technology, I can become easily frustrated when I am unsure of what to do or how to operate things. I am really excited about this blog network we have set up, hopefully it is something I will want to use in my future teaching career.
