Food is not the only shift in my lifestyle. I have taken it upon myself to upgrade as many aspects of my life that I see fit. I have moved from my home to a better place, taken better control of my health, and now, I am looking and building towards the future. A great aspect of this future composition involves the integration of technology. In my home, in my life, and in my classroom.
Truly, I am that individual who was always last to get on board with technology. I didn't discover the Internet for myself until 2002. I didn't own a digital camera until 2005. I just bought myself an IPod a month ago. However, I have discovered, since the start of my tenure as a Johnson and Wales graduate student, I am a fast and enthusiastic learner.
I know that I will never achieve the pinnacle of Web 2.0 knowledge. I most likely will not be able to discover every single nuance and feature of the Digital Age that we live in. But I also understand that the children that I will be introducing general learning strategies to will hopefully go on to achieve amazing heights ESPECIALLY in regards to technological advancement. My own goals as a teacher involve opening the doors of opportunity for them to embrace that achievement. And learn.
The idea that is most exciting to me is that even though my roles are to be a teacher, a facilitator, and a coach, I will be right alongside of them learning to advance in a technological and knowledge-based world.
