 * Teacher Metaphor: A teacher is a gateway to the future of humanity.


 * Instructional technology actually lends itself better to the crowded standard curriculum. What teachers used to have to write on the board in class can now be made ahead of time in a powerpoint and saved for future classes. The technology we've learned to use in this class will save us a significant amount of time. Although the curriculum is crowded, effort needs to be set aside for instructional technology because it makes our job a little easier and time efficient, as well as more fun for the children; they will enjoy using the educational websites and looking at powerpoint presentations with pictures rather than just writing on a board.


 * My personal philosophy of teaching is mainly to pay it forward; give other kids the kind of experience I had and set them on the path to success in all their future endeavors. I truly believe I know what it is like to receive undivided attention and care to my education and I think that it is my responsibility to pass that on to younger generations and promote the enjoyment in academics that I feel every time I’m in a learning environment. I believe that a good education is the basis of all else and that a positive elementary school experience can lead to positivity throughout an entire academic career. Elementary is a time when children learn to love or hate going to school; if they hated going to elementary, they will not hold much enthusiasm for later years. It will be my job to ensure that they have a positive outlook on coming to school every year. I also believe that school should be a fun and safe place for children to learn; I believe that I can create that for them.
