My Teaching Philosophy Voki

It is important to include technology in education because it has become a mainstream tool in the work force. It would be impossible for a student to be expected to be successful in later life if they have not been properly exposed to and taught to use technology. Technology can be used to get students excited about lessons by making them more interesting. As an English teacher I would have students create digital stories as opposed to writing a lenghty research paper, use PollEverywhere in order to post and respond to student's writing while remaining anonymous, and incorporate different forms of media (movies, music, art) that relate to the literature that we are learning.
