This assignment pushed me to create a full digital citizen unit that provided my students with the ability to understand the importance of being a digital citizen. I learned how to organize my thoughts and put them into a full lesson that lasts a decent amount of time and provided students with a lot of knowledge. I was able to provide students with leadership opportunities throughout the unit and I was able to show leadership in how we worked through this project together. For project management, there were clear expectations of what students were expected to do and what they would be learning.
In this class, we were put into groups to create a grant proposal for a school using $50,000. During this group project, I learned how to organize our communication and the way we were able to put all of our work together into one site. I also learned about leadership in this project and how to get things started and be able to effectively communicate to one another. This assignment also included great growth in project management. This assignment was tough and a lot of work but we were able to put everything together within a short amount of time and create an effective grant proposal.
This assignment was both challenging and rewarding. I am proud of this assignment because I was effectively able to show how technology is changing our world and how it will continue to change our world. We must be an advocate for technology and keep pushing our students to access more technology. Our resources are limitless when we are, as educators, are effectively able to use technology and teach how to use technology to our students.
I have learned a lot throughout this class and the effectiveness of technology. We are in a digital age and it is important to teach our students how to use technology effectively and safely. Being a good digital citizen is extremely important to teach to students to prepare them for the everyday digital world. I also learned how important it is to incorporate technology into the classroom and to be a technology leader to push other teachers to incorporate technology into their classrooms as well. Technology is changing our world and it is important for teachers to keep up with the trend and push students to learn about the world of technology and the digital age.
