Teach me! Teach me! Teach me!
I want to evolve as an educator. I want to provide meaningful and engaging instruction that helps students connect to my content, stimulates their interest, challenges them to grow, and sends them into the world ready to participate as globally connected citizens.
Where I am today and where I want to be able to take my students are separated by my lack of knowledge about so many technology tools. So teach me! Teach me! Teach me! I want to learn how to create and manage blogs and wikis to give my students real audiences for their writing instead of an audience of one, me. I want to bring authentic second language access to the class and I want to improve the quality of my authentic language samples by using podcasts. I don't have time to search all of the sources that are out there so I want to learn to use the RSS mentioned by David Warlick, to connect to other Spanish language teachers, and to have more interaction and communication within my building.
I want to provide meaningful education to my students who will one day use their Spanish with real people in business, medicine, law, education, travel, and so many other forms of communication. They have access to the world and I want to learn how improve the quality of the access.
I anticipate that a paradigm shift is necessary for time management. I can't add more to what I do but I can change the way that I do things in the classroom. I hope to learn how to make this shift.
