My Philosophy Statement.

I want to be a teacher because I believe that I can successfully motivate students into wanting to learn. Also I have always had a passion to help people. The subject of English has always been a strong topic for me especially literature I find very interesting and I feel that with the right texts students can also enjoy the text and get a well deep understanding of the subject content. I think the role of technology is important in classroom more now in our days then it was before because students are more aware and accustom to technology and the way it works. Another aspect is it is easier to address differentiated instruction by using technology because it can address many needs in one project or demonstration. For an example students don’t get all the information they need through lectures but if you talk and show them images through a power point or show some sort of video it can help the visual and audio learners at the same time. I think it is important to integrate technology into my classroom because as I stated I believe it will be easier for many students to learn at the same time. A way I would integrate technology into my classroom would be through power points, web quests and also through little online games to help the students better understand the books, novels, poems, etc... They would be able to learn about symbols, themes and characters through images and being able to see what they are talking about now just reading it and listening. My overall goal in the classroom is make students have an understanding of the specific topic and also have them be able to take what they learned and apply it to everyday life and think abstractly.

  2. I also like that subject. It has always been a strong point for me, so if I did become a teacher that is probably a subject I would teach.
