Comprehenesive Classroom Technology Plan
Comprehensive Classroom Technology Plan
Section One: Mission and Vision Statement
My Mission is to help students become a contributing and productive member of society by the use of intellectual, academic, and cultural experience through instruction. I will infuse technology in the classroom, have students become technology literate, and will motivate them to learn.
My vision is that all my students will have access to state-of-the-art technology that will allow them to be proficient in reading, writing, and mathematics, prepare them for the next level of education, and be successful at attaining the skills that are required of today's work force. Our students are growing up in a society that is technology based. It is our responsibility as teachers to make sure that our students are getting the best education they can get by infusing traditional learning with technology and making learning interesting. It is important that as teachers we are making sure that our students are prepared for their future, by making them proficient in reading, writing, and mathematics. If schools provided state-of-the-art technology for each classroom this could make things a lot easier to achieve. The more students learn about technology in the earlier grades, the better prepared they will be for a higher level of education as well as life in general. In 21st Century Learning we can teach our students different skills to help them be proficient in reading, writing, and mathematics. Creativity and Innovation, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving,
Communication and Collaboration make up the 4C’s (Partnership for 21st). It is important that we involve the 4C’s in our lesson plans every day. The 4C’s can help students a great deal by giving them the skills they will need to be successful. Problem Solving and Critical Thinking are two of the most important skills that students will need in their education. If they can master these to skills, then they should be able
