Facilitate

=**Goal 1 - Facilitate and inspire learning and creativity using existing and emerging technologies.** = = = = = To facilitate and inspire learning and creativity using existing and emerging technology is a goal I believe all educators should accomplish. To realize this goal it will take hours of research, education and professional development, but will bring forth an educator who is ready to meet the needs of students in the 21st Century. = = I believe this goal is vital to my success in becoming an outstanding educator. My current competence in this area is reason I am in this masters program. I have had formal training and practical application in technology, but not in education. Although the work load of this program is enormous, I’m excited to think of the transformation I will be going through as I apply my technology background with learning about the educational needs of students in this digital age. = = = = I have not realized this goal very much in my current experience. My lectures today resemble a three point sermon! My students are gracious and appreciate my emphasis on important points, but I know, there is so much more I can offer them as I proceed in this program. = =
