Enhancing Lesson Plans with technology rich experiences for teachers and students. Teaching both teachers and students the benefits of digital literacy.
PHILOSOPHY:ALL CHILDREN HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LOVE LEARNING. LEARNING IS SURVIVAL. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO LOVE LEARNING, EDUCATORS MUST MEET STUDENTS WHERE THEY ARE AND ADAPT THEIR TEACHING STYLES AND METHODS TO THE CURRENT AND EVER CHANGING WORLD THEY ARE GROWING UP IN. EDUCATORS MUST NOT BE AFRAID TO TAKE RISKS AND TO LEARN ALONG WITH THEIR STUDENTS. STRONG EDUCATORS TEACH THEIR STUDENTS TO ASK QUESTIONS, SEEK ANSWERS AND EMPOWER THEIR PEERS TO DO THE SAME. THEY ALSO PROVIDE THE TOOLS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO FOSTER THIS TYPE OF INQUIRY LEARNING AND REALIZE THE LIMITLESS WORLD OF 21ST CENTURY LEARNING TOOLS. LEARNING SHOULD BE EXCITING AND ENGAGING FOR BOTH STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS AND SHOULD OCCUR SIMULTANEOUSLY AND SIDE BY SIDE; EDUCATORS WITH THEIR STUDENTS. THE LOVE OF LEARNING IS MY GOAL FOR MY STUDENTS AND MY COLLEAGUES AS WE ALL WORK TOGETHER TO INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY INTO CREATING AND IMPLEMENTING DYNAMIC LESSONS BASED ON COMMON CORE OBJECTIVES, SCIENCE ESSENTIAL STANDARDS AND NORTH CAROLINA INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY ESSENTIAL STANDARDS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT STUDENTS IN CREATING A SOLID FOUNDATION IN THE INQUIRY PROCESS WITH 21ST CENTURY TOOLS IN HAND.
