The Role of a Teacher - A Designer??
1. Who am I designing for?
I am a designer for my students, my peers, my society.
2. What am I designing?
I am designing the foundation of what I would like to see my students become. I will use the support of my peers to help create the ways in which my students dreams can come to life. I will prepare my students by allowing them to know it is okay to dream, and ways in which their dreams can become a reality. By laying out this foundation that their goals can be achieved if they just put their minds to it and keep moving forward, it will start the ball rolling on helping them to think of, and become aware of, what their purpose in life is and how they can contribute to our growing society.
3. What is the final product of my design?
Accomplished Dreams!!
After this class the take away message I have is that we ARE designers, yes technology will always be here and continue to advance throughout the years, but without the designers the technology will be nothing. I was so worried about trying to find ways to integrate technology into my lessons without having them become a distraction or taking over my lessons, but now I see that without us the technology will be nothing. Therefore, as long as I am aware of how the technology will be used and am tying it in in ways that are going to be beneficial to my students, as well as to myself and my lessons, then all will be fine!
