So, I have already decided that I am using a blog or some other type of online form to keep what my class is working on when I become a teacher. I especially hope to be able to post math lessons and whatever else would help parents and students keep up with what is happening in the classroom. I think that it will be a great resource for students that miss a day. They can go back and get the lessons and what they are maybe missing. It will also be a great resource for parents, especially for math. If there is homework that the students are having a hard time understanding the parents could get onto the blog and see the lesson.
I have wanted to be a teacher since I was little. I questioned my decision for a few years but have now committed myself and excited to become a teacher in a few years. The more time that I spend in the classrooms I get more excited. I can not wait until I get my own classroom. When I think about working I want this type of work. It seems fun, challenging, entertaining, rewarding and it allows me to still be a mom to my kids. I will be home at night, on the weekends, on holidays and during the summer. I am realistic and know that a teacher's job isn't an 8 to 5 type of job.
I have really enjoyed the practicum experiences that I have had this semester. I have been able to see two different classrooms in operation. It has helped me try and shape what I want my classroom to look like and what type of teacher I want to be. I haven't completely decided but I am getting a little bit better idea. One thing I know for sure is I will be using technology as much as I am able to in my classroom. I think that using technology will get the students more engaged and interested in what we are learning.
