Beliefs and values in education
Our children, our students are the future. As educators we are in
the position to guide these students to lead our world in a positive
direction. We are there to guide our students in the acquisition
of skills and beliefs that they can use in their daily lives. The
amount of knowledge for any of us to learn is limitless, therefore it
is an impossible task for us to teach all that there is to learn.
All we can do is make sure our students have the basic skills to become
life-long learners. We can encourage, nurture, and
challenge our students as they proceed on their journey. This requires teachers
to constantly evaluate and assess what and how they are
teaching.
Views of technology use
We now live in a global society where we have instant contact with
anyone in any part of the world. Our students have been brought
up in this world using the technology that connects the world. If
we are to engage our students we will need to keep up with the latest
uses of technology and incorporate it in our lessons. Our
students will need to use this same technology in their career
paths. If we can effectively incorporate the technology in our
classes to guide their learning, they will be able to see the relevance
of what they are doing. Relevant and engaging lessons are keys to
successful learning.
