 * Hello All,

My name is Danielle Vogel. I am in the process of getting my teaching license in special education with elementary school. I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I was a kid. When i was sixteen I started working at a daycare that made me fall in love with kids. I continued working in the daycare system and have recently quit due to having a baby boy. When I was working at the daycare I was in the school-age room with ages ranging from five to eleven. I was to put lessons together that wouldn't make the kids feel like they are at school, but for them to have fun and learn all at the same time. I think that if you enjoy doing something then you are going to put more effort into it, and by making teaching fun and allowing children to use their imaginations and really getting them into school, students will walk away with more knowledge and with a better outlook on going to school.

I am all about making the classroom a fun and inviting space for my students. I think that by adding more technology into my classroom that my kids will flourish. There is so many new technological advances in the world these days that everyone wants the newest and best thing. I myself have made it through school just fine without all of the new developments in technology, by adding this new technology we are allowing our students, or our own children, to advance farther than we did without it. By bring technology into the classroom there is a more hands on way of learning available to the kids. Instead of reading everything out a text book they are able to see things almost as if they were they with it. Many children are more engaged in learning when they understand the material and it is something that is exciting to them.

By adding the new excitement into the classroom, children will have a better outlook on school and will be more willing to learn. When they are more willing to learn something they are going to take away more from the material, and therefore, maybe even learn more than we did. Technology opens so many pathways to learning new things. Students can work on may different things on computer programs such as: math games, spelling competitions, reading books, problem solving games, and so much more. For so many saying the word math is like saying a bad word, they just don't want to hear it. For these generations math can be fun, because instead of listening to a teacher explain it on the blackboard, they are able to shoot aliens with the answer to the equation that is floating on a spaceship. Technology allows for students to expand their minds and think about thing in a completely different way. Using these advances will benefit our children learning in the classroom and broaden their futures. || ||
