#3 Sherrelle's Philosophy to 21st Century in Education


My Philosophy for 21st Century Education

I believe 21st century education is the path to global success filling the gap. This type of education will prepare all our children's future to be bright anywhere in this world in order to be independent, skillful and productive citizens. 

When I started this class I had no idea that blogging was such a useful tool in education. I have different views about using technology in education because I think it is just as important to use as pencil and paper. Today an individual needs to know how to utilize the computer in order to apply for a job and post resumes. Teachers need to learn to create slide shows to present information and it is important that teachers not only know for themselves but for their students to learn. Also, today there are single parent homes and those parents may not have the time meet with teachers so they can use technology such as email, text messaging and blogs to communicate with teachers and find out what is going on in the classroom. Technology opens a whole new world to education. The world is right at your fingertips.

I have learned that it is fun and easy to use Google Tools and it is free which is amazing. I have found so many new teacher sources such as PBS.org, teachers.net, scholastic.com, learner.org, apple.com and so many more that can be found under the Google search engine.

I have grown as a future educator because of the information I have been taught from the TE 405 class. I plan on using technology to engage student so they can interact and build their skills for an amazing future.
