If I could do any job, I'd be a technology teacher in an elementary school. Let me be more specific- I would be a technology teacher in an elementary school that has up-to-date and fully functioning technology!
I've thought about a variety of different educational endeavors that I could tackle over the years, but all of them take me out of the classroom, which is my favorite part of teaching. For the last few years I've become the go-to person for tech trouble in my building. I'm also a creative brainstormer when it comes to ways to integrate technology into projects and learning instead of making it an add on.I don't know...... there's something pretty spectacular about putting a digital native (read: child of today) in front of a computer and supporting them along the creative and innovative learning experience of today....
So there you have it, my dream job. If anyone happens to have an extra salary laying around, and would be willing to donate it to my school, I'd happily accept it, cause right now, a tech teacher is not in the budget!
Sounds like a great job. My daughters have been fortunate to be in a high school that has let them do videos, podcast, power point presentations, as part of their learning. They have been taught to apply the basics of composition to the new media. And their school color is purple.
ReplyDeleteHa! Love the school color! (obviously!) It is SO important, especially at the high school age, to be able to integrate technology into learning and projects. Technology is here to stay, whether we like it or not! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWow...you sound so passionate about this...If I found the money stashed down the back of the sofa I would totally donate it!
ReplyDeleteI think my dream job would be...a writer.
Thanks Loki-Lou! I do love what I do, with a passion. Writing, well, with your blog, you're on your way there! Thanks for the comment!
DeleteI would love to live near you (and have someone to troubleshoot my phone or comp app, etc) Technology has always been around and new things are being developed hour after hour. Marie here from http://www.mommyunwired.com/ visiting from nablopomo soup. Hey, I just followed you, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Marie! (love your blog, BTW!) Tech comes naturally to me, thankfully, cause I sure feel drawn to it. I'd gladly help you if we were nearby! I love seeing adults hit the comfort zone in technology! Thanks for following!
