Module4+reflection

==//Reflection Prompt Module 4: Reflect on your thinking surrounding your developing a philosophy of Instructional Technology use for learning and your understanding of 21st century teaching and learning. //==

Description:
Through the past two weeks, I read chapter 3 of technology facilitation and leadership standards, some articles about the 21st century learners, and I watch some videos relate to 21st century skills.

Impact:
After reading and watching this stuff about the 21st century skills, it helps me to understand deeply about what should be the 21st learners? or what skills should the 21st learners have? The 21st learners are not the people who separate their daily life from the school environment. Actually, they are the people who connect their real life environment with the school environment using the technology that they are solving problems, innovating, thinking critically, communicating and collaborating.

My philosophy of instructional technology that builds after understanding the 21st century skills is that as educators, we should advocate instilling these skills in our students. To achieve that, we should look for the technology tools that fit the content without blind using of technology tools that will lead to make the situation worse instead of improving it. Also, the technology tools that we will look for are not just the tools that will facilitate the content to the students, but also the tools that will engage the students in the learning environment.

The technology tools make the collaboration between the school and the real life easier and effective. It also prepares the learners for their future jobs and their real life long.

Intend:
I intend to instill the 21st century skills in my students that helps them to promote their thinking level through collaboration and communication with others inside and outside of school, innovation and creation new things and problems solving that relates to their real world. Also, I will pursue to educate myself about the new technology tools that will help me to develop my teaching and my students’ learning with the progress of the technology.
