The Final Frontier

For our assignment we showed that teachers need to have and use technology in their classrooms in order to be up to date with the technology generation and to succeed as a teacher. Peggy Ertmer's article discusses how teachers knowledge and beliefs are different, because whereas beliefs generally refer to “suppositions, commitments, and ideologies,” knowledge refers to “factual propositions and understandings.” Collaboration is key to success because more heads working together are better than just one head working alone. Most people work better when they are working in teams than by themselves. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between teachers’ pedagogical beliefs and their technology practices. We used the google drive and the internet to show people how easy it is to use technology and if we can figure this out then I am pretty sure anybody can do it. We all three put in an equal amount of work as Stephen worked on writing the slides. I worked on finding the pictures, videos, and graphs and putting them into the slides. Kyle worked on the transitions of all the slides. Now take a look at our final draft and enjoy!
