When reflecting on my past experiences, which is my student teaching, all I can say is that technology was not emphasized as much as I would have liked it to. I felt that the focus was more on getting the students ready for the STARR exam, which is important, but I believe there is much more to it than that. I do believe that, if the school would prepare students more with the use of technology, the students would not have struggled as much during online learning when this pandemic hit back in 2020.
I believe technology being integrated into the curriculum is a wonderful idea, but I also believe everybody on the school staff has to be on board especially our leaders because they are the ones who can do anything for our students, besides educators. One way our school leaders can start is by purchasing learning software to improve learning and emphasize computer learning skills. In my opinion, leaders should lead by example and have strong characteristics such as being compassionate, trustworthy, having communication skills, and being able to inspire and collaborate with others. Once that has been set teachers would be able to be integrating technology into the curriculum.
I will provide a video link on how learning is happening right now. This video for me proofs that there is still more to learn about technology, the need to teach our future students about technology and the importance of getting educators on board on this journey with technology.
