This technology interview was enlightening. Westside elementary school seems to lack technology that I assumed they would have, yet they have technology that I assumed they wouldn't. I am shocked that they don't have any Apple computers in the school, but I am thrilled that they have two computer labs plus one traveling lab. I am surprised that they don't have wireless Internet. I am glad that they will be getting wireless Internet in the near future. To be limited to wired Internet is ridiculous in this day and age.
This Experience has greatly affected me as a teacher. I am going to be very careful when applying to various schools and districts. I want to make sure I am in a school and working for a district that supports modern technology. I want to work for a district that provides laptops and wireless Internet for their teachers. In order to be the best teacher possible, I will need support from my employers. One aspect of that support will be technologically based.
I am excited to use technology in my future classroom. Technology opens countless doors for not only teachers but students. Technology is the future. Students need to be comfortable learning from and using technology. I want my future students to succeed in their lifetime endeavors. To succeed they must be comfortable with technology. I surprise myself by admitting that I am excited about technology, I can't wait to become more fluent in various aspects of it.
