Technology
As we move further into the 21st century, the demand for staying up to date with current technology becomes increasingly important. One passion of mine that I have translated into my teaching practice is technology. Throughout my personal life as well as my professional career, I have incorporated extensive technology practices. While technology can be used to for enjoyment, it also has alot of potiential for teaching skills. As the technology becomes more complex, people must be able to comprehend these changes, adapt methods, and apply the technology in their everyday life. I enjoy finding unique ways to use technology in my everyday life such as geocaching, news from the around the world, and playing simulation games, In the classroom, I have incorporated to enhance students understanding of concepts, converse with people from around the world, and engage them in a more authentic learning envrionment.
