Week 8 Reflection EDUC: 67151

I believe that the implementation of the Wii into my teaching go along perfectly with what I learned from this course. Technology is ever changing, and you will always have emerging and emerged technologies. As soon as one technology emerges, there will be another one that comes out and will make that earlier technology emerging. Wii is an activity that can always be done during P.E. classes and I believe that the Wii will be something that can be done for years. It may become emerged, but it can always be used and will be beneficial to students in P.E. programs, and students who may not otherwise be able to participate in physical activity.

As for immediate adjustments I will make into my teaching, I will try to incorporate more technology into my teaching. While researching and learning the materials from this course, I realize just how much technology plays a role in students’ lives and how much it will play a role in students’ lives, that it is important that I stay up to date and use technology whenever possible to better benefit my students’ success. It will take some effort for other teachers to be accepting and open to using new technology, but once a few teachers start to use it and other teachers see the benefits of technology they will be more accepting to using it in their daily teaching. As a teacher it is also important to try your best to stay ahead of the game when it comes to technology. Since technology changes so much and so quickly it is essential that we do not get used or comfortable with just using one type of technology tool but to use many and a variety of them in our teaching.
