My Philosophy of Technology

            The philosophy of ecology can go many ways for people and how they see technology use within the classroom. The greatest way I see the use of technology in my classroom is to think that the use of technology within our students’ lives is inevitable and to accept it and embrace it instead of fighting it. 

The way to accept it and embrace it is for me to follow the guidance of dynamic learning processes. This simply put for me is that the classroom is to be student-led. Technology and media have been introduced to students since they were real young. Most of the time the students know more about technology than adults. This thought is what I will use to let my students use new technology that they know of to use within projects and assignments to teach each other and myself along with learning the assignment at hand. Whether they do this using a new Prezi website or the way they clip together films using an app that I have never seen, these are all ways in which they can introduce and teach someone else around them.

 Technology and media are growing, and the students should grow along with it. The biggest problem I see with the extensive use of technology is the students losing crucial writing skills that they can’t learn with their faces in technology such as computers and phones. I want to make sure students don’t only use technology but can-do assignments without technology as well and can go back and forth with it. I want to gauge and see how much production a student can perform with technology and without and see how much more information is gained with or without technology involved.
