The oldest piece of technology that I have encountered lately is an electronic typewriter. This technology has changed drastically. Now we have computers, laptops, tablets, electronic notebooks, and many other tools to type up a paper. Today there is even technology on our phones and computers where we just have to talk and our words will be typed for us. The days of changing those two typewriter tapes are behind us and the digital age has taken over in force. When typewriters were prevalent, typewriting was a sought after skill that not everybody had and was sought after in many businesses. Today it is built into the curriculum at schools so that every student has a certain level of proficiency. Not that they need it, with this technology boom going on it is my belief that some of the younger generations know how to type better than they can write. That includes printing and writing in cursive.
This semester will be my fourth year at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. My main goal for this semester is to progress one step closer to my career as an educator. There are several reasons why I wanted to go into education. The first reason was that I wanted to give back to the community in a way that is irreplaceable. The education that you receive in grade school is the foundation for all other learning throughout one’s life. I simply want to pass on some for my knowledge and experiences to benefit others, to inspire students to become lifelong learners. Next semester I will be pre-student teaching so right now I am trying to learn all I can and getting prepared to wind down my undergraduate college career.
I plan on using this blog as a record of sorts for my different educational experiences. For example, I will be going to Peru this coming summer and i would like to share the experience that I will gain on this trip. While on this trip our group will be entering the Peruvian school districts to observe their different teaching styles, and classroom management. I would like to share this experience with others. |
