<p>Learning, as we all know, is a lifelong process- one that is dependent on a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to: location, culture, and the numerous methods of teaching.</p>
<p>The word philosophy refers to one’s perspective or approach regarding a certain facet of the world, and it too is shaped by a colorful assortment of factors. Culture, in having the greatest impact on one’s philosophy, is perhaps the most eminent factor.</p>

<p>Learning, as we all know, is a lifelong process- one that is dependent on a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to: location, culture, and the numerous methods of teaching.</p>
<p>The word philosophy refers to one’s perspective or approach regarding a certain facet of the world, and it too is shaped by a colorful assortment of factors. Culture, in having the greatest impact on one’s philosophy, is perhaps the most eminent factor.</p>
<p>During my formative years, I was taught in a very traditional fashion, which is teacher will stand at the front of the class and use the chalk and backboard to teach us math, science, language in a direct and often single-minded manner. A dynamic approach to teaching that made use different mediums was a technique as yet unheard of. Students had to listen to the teacher’s instructions and follow the direction explicitly. Textbooks, notebooks, pencils, etc., were essential requirements that each student needed for daily lessons.</p>
<p>Today, the tools needed for learning have become much more diverse. The classroom environment has evolved to include computers, smart board, digital calculator, projector, and even iPads, among others. Digital devices have become an integral part of one’s learning environment, both within the classroom and beyond.</p>
<p>As both a digital immigrant and now a technology teacher, it is important that I am constantly connected with digital world, up to date with the latest technologies and how they’re used and in tune with their constant development. It is my personal belief that technology is a shapeless entity, constantly shifting and evolving, and we, as teachers have a duty to keep up with the pace in order to be effective.</p>
<p>My personal philosophy regarding learning has been shaped throughout the years by my previous career. Originally coming from a computer engineering background, I have been involved in the education field for about 5 years. My previous career path endowed me with the experience of being patient in troubleshooting issues related to computer repairs, application problems, and also in the methods of teaching and training fledgling computer users. Changing my career and becoming an official computer teacher has given me the chance to transfer my previous experience and share it with others at the schools I work for.</p>
<p>Learning is a two-way road. Though I teach students, and they learn from me, I also learn from them. I like to open conversations with my students as well as my colleagues. Genial conversation will inevitably lead to meaningful discussion.</p>
<p>I also believe being allowed to choose how to learn will foster student engagement and motivation. Freedom of choice enables student empowerment, which will incite a positive response from the students. In addition, I often look for different professional developments related to how technology maybe responsibly integrated and taught at K-12 schools to enhance my students’ learning experien</p> The Glogster Global Collaborative - One Voice, One Vision: Imagining Our World Through Music and Arttag:www.classroom20.com,2011-02-16:649749:Topic:6028332011-02-16T02:20:30.258ZGreg Limperishttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/GregLimperis

I am designing a tech summer institute for 50 middle school teachers around 21st century learning and teaching. I am working on making this PD as authentic as possible. I want to use regular teachers from outside of our district to present different ideas, uses, strategies etc. I would need the teachers to Skype in for possibly 30-45min during the week of June 15th 2009. The 50 teachers are extremely excited about the journey they are about to take.

Some argue that having a stand alone Technology class in an elementary school takes away from the general classroom teacher's desire and determination in integrating technology into their classroom. Also, having a stand alone Technology class requires a computer lab to be dedicated to teaching technology, thus less chances for teachers to bring their students to the lab as a group and this also causes havoc during computer based testing windows.<br />
<br />
Others argue that having a stand alone Technology class allows students to learn the fundamentals of using a computers and technology (word processing, presentation software, using digital still and video cameras, and video and photo software) without taking away time from the general curriculum, thus when the general classroom teacher wants to do an integrated technology project the students already know how to do the technology side of the project and can focus on the content.<br />
