What I have learned from Lamar's Masters Program.....

Throughout my coursework at Lamar University, I have learned that I am not just an ordinary teacher. I want to make things better for my students. I think one of the easiest ways to motivate them is through technology. I have found new and innovative ways of incorporating technology into the classroom. I have done research proving that technology does make a huge impact on students perceptions of school. Before Lamar, I was curious about technology in the classroom. I had not "earned" all of my technology credit towards a projector and had not written a grant for a smart board. Now, I have finished my courses, taken all the tests, and turned in all my projects. I have also written a grant for a SmartBoard for my classroom. I have dramatically changed my attitude about technology in the classroom in the past two years. I know now what an impact it has on education. Lamar has broadened my ideas and shown me that I can incorporate technology into my classroom. I can assist teachers in incorporating technology into their classrooms. I can create a vision for a school or district and aim for technology in every classroom. With technology, there are really so many ideas, you can do just about anything for any subject.
