Making a difference with technology.

The technological age we live in has granted us with a special opportunity. We are able to reach anyone with the simple power of the internet.

Here is another blog post talking about something similar!

The book used in our class, “The Global Educator”, covers all aspects of global education but one specifically covered this week is how you can make a difference and effect change.

My goal as an educator is to make change. We as educators are given the opportunity to effect the younger generations. This is the push that drove me toward education. I love the idea of being able to be responsible for helping children and making them better people.

Specifically, I want to teach theatre and literature. With these topics I can draw upon the world. Theatre is something that first originated in other parts of the world. As a teacher I can use technology to access those parts of the world. Literature is also something that exists in all parts of the world. Technology can put us in connect with people from all over. I love the idea of being able to use programs like Flipgrid or Skype to make connects and I look forward to using them in my future classroom.
