Blog posting on your philosophy of instructional technology

The way I see instructional technology in the future is a school that is always open to new ideas that can be done in a classroom. Teacher and student should be able to use a computer in every classroom and at home. Every teacher should have their own web page and blog, and work with moodle so they can post assignments, calendars, deadline, resources, etc. on the web. The blog would create a community interaction between students and teachers as well as students and students. Students should have their own web pages to post their work with the idea to create a digital portfolio in live text so they can have it forever. If students have their portfolio other students, teachers, and parents could see what they have done and how successful they are when it comes to technology.

I believe that teacher and student should make good use of all the different kinds of technologies that they use at home and be able to bring them to school. Some schools don’t accept students to bring to school the different technologies that they use at home. Teachers should give them some time in the classroom to work with the different technologies and come up with something interesting that they can share with other students. In some schools some students do not have money to buy all this fancy technology, or the school does not have it in the classroom.
