Chapter 2 Reflections

Chapter 2 Reflections

3 Things I learned:
All humans construct their knowledge by interacting in different experiences. By having my students use technology they not only get their work done, they also learn how to use the technology. Also by me using it in the classroom they are learning by watching me. Secondary age students are at a critical part in their learning stages. They learn new experiences by fitting in what they know with things that they are learning. And by doing that they are thinking in a different way and they are learning new things along the way. TPACK means technological pedagogical content knowledge which means teaching students how to use their technology resources, they are learning, and I am teaching.

2 Connections I can make:
I think it is important for students to know how they learn. I want to teach them about Jean Piaget’s developmental theory. It is important for them to know why I am teaching why I am teaching, and the different approaches I can take to help every student learn. I can show them in the beginning of the year via smart board my teacher standards. So that they know why I am teaching what I am teaching and why.

1 Question I have:
I understand teaching my students technology in the classroom, but why is it important for me to use it?
