I've heard a lot lately about the fact that in order to be a good teacher, you also need to be a good learner, or student - and vice versa for the actual students. I love this.
It was said that perfection can grow to perfection - or in other words, there are always new things to be learned. I feel that part of being a teacher, especially a technology teacher, is constantly learning everything you can. Most likely using the same lesson plans over and over for thirty years like teachers I've had in the past have done, will not do. Not only will the teachers need to be learning these new things but the students will need to be teaching them! I hope to make my future classroom a place of constant growth. It doesn't matter if you are a student or teacher, we will all progress together.
When talking about knowledge, Walter Gong said,
"We have the power. We want you to have the power too."
How neat is that! You might possibly find this quote on the future wall of my classroom. I love seeing that excited look in people's eyes, and feeling it in myself, when you learn something new or finally understand a concept. It is almost like gaining a new 'power.' I'd like to see that happen to my students as well as let them see me excited about what we are learning!
