Why do I want to be a teacher?

I want to be a teacher for many reasons. First off, I think that giving a child the value of a good education is so important. It will help them not only in getting a good job, but it will help them in perhaps more difficult, tasks throughout their lives. Working with children is also very rewarding. To help a child understant a concept that they could not grasp before gives me such a good feeling. I think that every kid has potential to be brilliant and successful as long as they work hard at it. I would love to be the teacher that helps them learn everything that they want to know. I am looking forward to the classes that I will be taking to get closer to becoming a teacher. One of my goals in life is to make an impact on someones life. Even just one person. I think that teaching would be relevant to this goal and I only hope that one day I become a successful teacher and that I accomplish this goal.

How Will Taking Ed Tech help me as an educator?

Taking this Tech ed course will definitely help me as an educator. We are learning how to use different programs, such as powerpoint, word, excel, and fireworks. These tools will help us show and demonstrate to our future students how and why these tools are important. For example, it will absolutely help me teach a class using a powerpoint presentation. Since many kids learn by visual aids, I believe that by seeing the powerpoint presentation in front of them will help and develop their understanding of the lesson. I think programs like excel will help kids learn to organize ideas and set up different tables and charts that will help them in later years. Overall, I think that taking this class is definitely going to strengthen me as a future educator and I am looking forward to learning all of the different progrmas that will make my future class more interactive and useful.
