Personal Philosophy 3 Personal Philosophy with Technology Technology is ever changing and fast moving. Technology of the 1990’s, the era of AOL, simple websites, and Ask Jeeves has been replaced with Google, Facebook, and elaborate websites. This makes integrating technology into education so important. It will be the future of the students within our care. In biblical times, technology appeared in different ways. God told Noah to build an ark. He gave specific types of wood that was to be used, exact quantities of animals, and gave the blueprints to Noah. This was the form of technology in the Bible. “This is how you are to make it: The ark will be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. You are to make a roof, finishing the sides of the ark to within eighteen inches of the roof. You are to put a door in the side of the ark. Make it with lower, middle, and upper decks” (Genesis 6:15-16, CSB). Technology did not always come in the form of computers, internet, or cell phones. I honestly truly enjoy technology. I love how it connects people from all over the world. I love the doors it has opened in education. No longer do we only have books and papers, but amazing online learning games to stimulate further knowledge. I believe that technology is necessary in education. In my classroom, we use technology for brain breaks, learning games, CVC help, and assessments. These tools have helped me become a better teacher. I can show a video to assist in the lesson I am teaching. Hughes addresses the use of technology in creating possibilities for learning disabilities. She says that students with disabilities in several areas vision, hearing, mental as just a few. Technology has made it possible to help the students grow and learn in a manner that they need (74). This is why I believe it is so important to integrate technology into lessons.
