Reflection

I have learn and gain a new perspective regarding technology and how it is being used by younger people and how that technology is going to affect us in the future and the most impotant thing them. They are technology natives and also technology dependants. An important leson that I learn is that we can use that dependence on technology to help students learn and gain more knowledge, specially if we can direct and refocus their interest in learning.
I believe that I have achieve the outcomes by learning and gaining more knowledge on how students can use technology to learn and how technology is braking barriers in education.
We need to adapt our selfs to technology and usit in a constructive way. But we also need to teach our students to use technology in a constructive way with out affecting other people.
Technology is something that is moving so fast and at such a speed that it can happen that our own stundets may become obsolete in the use of technology.

From my vantage point I can reflect a many interesting learnings that I can apply to a campus as an administrator. From the security perspective I have to recognize that we live in a new world that requires us educators to learn more about the use of computers for our self and how the students are using it. This learning needs to be for our own enrichment and we need to learn what the students are learning technology wise.
By duing that we will be communicating at the same level, it seems to me that when we talk about being technology natives us the technology emeigrants are excluded from learning about technology and its use. And even though they are technology natives they still reuire to learn basic things like writing and mathematics how are they going to use technology if they are illiterate. We will never be separated about our basic knowledge as humans.

The out comes that I did not achieve are a more intensive use of technology that I can use at school, but it gave me a god insight of what I need to learn about technology so I can catch up with all that world of information. I see in the district curriculum that students are learning how to make web pages in high school that is something that we as teacherd do noy know how to do or at least not all of us. From that point of view if I want to catch up in all the technology issues that I need to learn, now I have the base or fundamentals in where to start. On the other hand this class helped me use a blog and how important is the use of a blog to communicate with other people. At the beginnig it was a little frustrating because the instructions are not very clear or at least there is a gap between the instructions and the real use. But after spending some time in the computer I was able to acieve my goal and this is very important for the new users of technology, because it is that sence of frustration that we need to overcome to learn and grow.

All of my course assignments were carried out successfully and with no big complications and it was interesting to use the technology to carry thos assignments. However I was expecting to see more use of technology like construction wise, like build a small web page and put a blog on it that I think would be very interesting. I can se several teachers having their own web page where they poste their homework for the week putting additional work for the tier two and three students. I mention this because of the use that a teacher can give to help students interact with technology and at the same time they can learn their subjects.

What I learned from this class is that we need to keap learning all the time in order to be up to date with our students we are no different from doctors or lawyers or people that need to keap themselves learning in order to catch up with all the knowledge that is out there. This class reinforced some knowledge that I have already but it also gave new insight of things that I do not know, but the must important is that now I know where to start looking for that information that I lack.

Bloging is a very important part in education since it eexpreses what one person is doing in one field or area, bloging is a new way of communicating with people in a new space and environment that we need to become familiar and learn how to use. However bloging should be understood in a important context of the community that it reads it and how to reach at that community because the web is becoming so big that there must be many blogs very interesting to read and communicate, but we need to know how to have acces to them. And blog is just one way to communicate there are many other ways to communicate like vide conferences, texting, mailing, phone. etc. This is just the tip of the iceberg for the 21st century learner.

Bloging will be a very important part in education and it will open new spaces of communication with our learning community at all levels from students to stakeholders.
