I have often heard, from many (coaches, teachers, adults) that leaders have natural qualities that attract people to follow their lead. I am sure many have also heard "you're either a leader or a follower". I believe that everyone has the ability to be a leader given the opportunity and knowledge base. I have played and coached several sports throughout my life and I realize that leadership takes on many different qualities, thus is not always the loudest or most outspoken that lead without even knowing. Throughout this course I would like to learn about the different aspects of being a leader, not always through voice but through actions as well. I have also realized different groups, classrooms, and teams need different types of leadership depending on the participants. I am excited to see what I can learn and utilize in my school throughout this semester.
I am astounded by all of the different technology that is accessible in every facet of life. There is not a day that goes by that I am not researching or trying a new app or form of technology. I rely on "word of mouth" and reviews to assess technology and I would like to create a foundation of personal knowledge on how to evaluate education for my students, colleagues, and school. How do I integrate technology effectively into my classroom? How do I evaluate technology to make it meaningful to student learning? These are just two of the questions, that I am looking forward to answering throughout CET 720!
