5. Masters in
Educational
Technology?
Technology has played a vital role in every
job I have had during my career in
education.
I believe that technology in the classroom
enhances student learning, and I want to
help bring technology to the forefront at
my current school.

6. Ah-ha Moments
 In the first chapter the book talks about how teachers most
often use technology to make traditional teaching easier
instead of using it to find opportunities for more enhanced
learning. I realized that I too, use the internet in this way and
I want to change that.
 The quote “…evolution of ideas of learning, rather than good
guy theory vs. bad guy theory…” really stood out to me. I
think it is important to remember that over time things
change, and we continue to learn throughout the changing
process. All parts are equally important.
