Reflection
As a result of this program, I believe that I am a
much more effective teacher who is capable of
utilizing the latest technology tools and techniques to
benefit student learning. I believe that I am better
equipped to be an advocate for technology in the
classroom and school. I will share my strengths with
fellow teachers and help them become more
technology savvy as they learn to integrate
technology into their classrooms as well. I believe
that I have grown tremendously as a teacher as a
result of this program. Consequentially, my students
will be provided with a technology-rich classroom.
