Introduction

My name is Natasha Knights. I am an Elementary Education Major at Bowie State University and I am a junior. This class was a good experience and I learned a lot of things that will help me with the use technology in the near future. I learned many things during this experience, some of which will be reflected in my Wiki. So buckle up and hold on for a ride of wonderful technology experince.

//My Phosology of Education// My goals in teaching are to ensure that my students learn to the best of their ability, to make instruction fun but effective, and to provide students with information and knowledge that would help them become better individuals in today’s society. My goal as an educator is to understand my students needs, respect my students regardless of their ability and circumstances, be a positive role model, and provide students with the knowledge they need to show them that education is one of the most valuable possessions in life. I will do so by developing a positive relationship with my students that will help me understand their needs and how they learn. I will try to teach them in different ways that will reach each child’s learning style. Some would learn faster than others and some would either be visual or auditory learners. As a result I will have to structure my instruction in a way that it would reach each student. Sometimes I would give a lecture and then give an exercise that would reflect on the lecture, so I will be reaching both auditory and visual learners. Further, I will provide both traditional and non-traditional methods to ensure that my students learn effectively and to the nest of their ability. I will also try to relate to my instructions to real life situations so my students can understand better and have lectures and discussion so I can get an idea of how my students think and their beliefs. Teaching is important to me because I believe I have the ability to make children listen and guide them so they can become better individuals. I also know that it will take a lot of time an effort to make it happen, I will try my best to provide a productive and fun experience for all my students. To conclude, my goal as a teacher is to provide students with a meaningful education and to teach them that education is the key to success and life will be easier with an education. I hope to provide them with a memorable education and leave a long lasting impression.
