How does the technology that you currently use enhance your students' learning and your teaching? How do you know?
Using CFNC with my eighth grade students helps them begin planning for high school and college. Having them complete a career interest survey on the CFNC site gives them an idea of what careers would be suitable for them, which then assists them in deciding which courses to take in high school. Based on student evaluations for this activity, the students felt more confident selecting high school courses after completing the interest survey. I have conducted student evaluations after other activities with groups of students (see previous entry for activities), and they consistently state that the use of technology (videos, Powerpoint, websites) keeps them engaged and interested in the material. They also state that using the videos makes the related discussions and activities more realistic and age-appropriate.
As a teacher/counselor, using technology with my students helps me keep them engaged in activities. It also allows me to provide them with very current and relevant resources (college information, study skills, etc.). Integrating technology also helps me stay up-to-date professionally.
