Course Goals for TE 402

While looking over the syllabus for this course, one word seemed to jump off of the page at me quite a few times: technology. Technology and the use of it in the classroom tends to make me a bit anxious; but I am looking forward to learning more about it and how I can incorporate it in the classroom.

Another course goal mentioned that I know I need to work on is ongoing self-assessment. Last semester was mostly a chaotic blur for me and I never really had (or made) the time to take a look at myself as a learner or a colleague. This semester I intend to pay more attention to myself as a learner and a colleague, as I am sure it will help me be better at both.

After completing the first readings, I find myself even more excited about this course. I am very interested in exploring literacy and all of its aspects.

I looked at the syllabus as well and noticed how many times technology was used. I am on the same page. Technology just makes me nervous. I want to overcome my fear so that I will actually use technology in my classroom. I believe, however, that alternative ways of learning inspire the best work! So, I am going to be open-minded!
