learning beliefs

 

 

Teaching, Learning, and Technology all facilitate and enhance each other.  When I began this program of study towards my Educational Specialist degree a whole new world opened up to me and I began developing a concept of how Teaching, Learning, and Technology are connected and intertwined.  I have developed an Inspiration Concept map illustrating my understanding of the connections between the three.  My learning beliefs stated below have evolved during my studies and are represented in my concept map.

Teaching, Learning and Technology Concept Map: PDF or ISF

1. I believe technology is a tool that facilitates meaningful learning.
2. I believe the teacher's role in learning with technology is a facilitator/guide.
3. I believe the student's role in learning with technology is that of constructors of their own knowledge by thinking, reasoning, learning and making meaning.
4. I believe teachers must have adequate access to technology, professional development, adequate time, and support to successfully integrate technology in the curriculum.
