Personal Technology Plan: I envision being a technology advocate in my classroom in order to promote literacy and prepare 21st century learners.
My largest teaching interest is technological literacy and pushing all my students in their reading and writing, no matter what their level. I have some great resources I want to incorporate that are technology based. I am definitely going to incorporate kid blogging into my classroom. I specifically plan to use it as an extension in my literature circle groups. I could also see using blogging as a writing journal tool. This course, along with individuals within my PLN, inspired me to incorporate blogging into my classroom. I want to expand on digital audio books, which I feel is an excellent resource for struggling readers because it offers fluency exposure and practice. I plan to explore library programs that track library books in your class and allows student to provide feedback on books they recommend to their classmates. I am interested in developing a digital record of students’ literacy progress. I would also love to have a set of ipads in my classroom to use for literature centers.
Some of the ideas in my personal technology plan are already ideas developing in my classroom. For example, I recently set up a digital audio book library by uploading cds and renting out sets of library books. But, my school is moving forward to purchasing a subscription of a online audio book library, so I an anxious to incorporate this technological tool. I am also already track student reading progress with Accelerated Reader’s online system. But, my school does not have a program that offers tracking on each student according to all student assessments and assignments. I would be interested in piloting such a program so that teachers can better organize student data to promote efficient differentiated instruction. My school does not have any ipads, but I would be willing to look into grant writing and I know that my school would promote this technology. My school is willing to try new things and has many up to date technologies.
