When I was in middle school, I loved all of my teachers and they each had a big impact on my life. From this experience I decided I someday wanted to be like them. My mom is also a first and second grade teacher, so growing up I have helped in my mom's classroom many times. These two experiences along with many others helped me come to the conclusion that one day I wanted to be a teacher, specifically a middle school teacher. I have always loved kids, and teaching is one way I can have an impact on their life. As of now, I have not decided what subject I want to teach, but I am getting a humanities endorsement which will probably influence my decision. Whatever I end up teaching, I know I will love it because I have a passion for kids and I want to be a positive role model for my students.
Looking specifically at what I want to learn this year I would say I want to learn about smart boards, using programs specifically used when teaching, and having technology in the classroom while still having the kids being interactive with each other and balancing how much time they spend on technology. These are a few things I would like to look at this semester. I have not had a whole lot of experience with technology. I know the basics of internet, PowerPoint, and word. I have not worked with much new technology other than iphones and ipods, classroom technology is fairly foreign to me, although I can usually catch on pretty quickly.
