Philosophy+of+Education

As a future educator, I feel that technology in the classroom setting is an asset to the student's learning. Students spend a majority of their time and energy on the computer and other technology, so I feel that it would help the student learn if they were taught by the use of technology in the everyday classroom. The younger generation is more advanced in the use of technology and are able to move quickly and easily around on the different technology available to us and educators should use this to their advantage. As teachers, we should not over use the technology. There should be a mix between technology and standard ways of teaching such as notes and worksheets. But, if an activity or presentation can be made using technology to make a stronger impact, use the wonderful technology we have available.

As a future music teacher, I want to engage my students and introduce them to music. I want my students to be engaged and enjoy music as an art. My students should be able to identify different music genres and be able to compose simple music projects by learning all rules of music theory. My goal is to have my students able to create a piece of music and want to learn more about music on their own. I want my students to enjoy music as much as I do as the teacher.
