I have always believed that we are lifelong learners. When we are no longer learning, what are we doing and thinking? As an educator, it is even more important to continue learning because education is always changing. A perfect example is technology. I decided to take this course because I know that I am not where I should be in regards to technology. My students know more about computers than I do and are not afraid to try new things, unlike me. But here I am, posting my first blog (and a little nervous).
My most challenging habit will be my confidence level. As I stated before, technology makes me nervous. However, I have wonderful team mates that have assured me that they will not abandoned me. As I progress in this class, I am sure that my confidence level will rise.
The easiest habit, for me, will be setting goals. My first goal is to work on my most challenging habit as mentioned above. Goals help me stay focused and on schedule.
Finally, the most important habit is the last one. The best way to learn, and retain, something is to teach it. I can't wait to use what I am learning now, in my classroom later. The opportunities are endless, not only for me, but for my students as well.
