                              How should the teacher of the 21 first century be?

                  Although education is the only way to emerge from poverty, people still not see that the biggest leverage in society is the teacher. The teacher himself is a role model for lawyers, doctors and social workers who serve  us every day; therefore, the teacher of the 21 first century must have good preparation in every subject matter, including technology. Nevertheless, the Subject of technology has been the hardest one to be covered by teachers, since it is found very demanding. For this reason in order to be a competitive teacher in this demanding world we, teachers must try to introduce technology in the classroom ; moreover,  envisage a better curriculum as much as possible, so  the subjects can be more appealing to the learners.

                One of the reasons why is important to introduce technology in the classrooms is because the amount of information that the teacher can adressed is limited, and the internet serves as platform in which the students can search and find  more information. Also the students can interact with other students in chat rooms with people all over the world ,giving them more access to expand their social knowledge, and learn things that are outside their communities. Another reason is that the use of computers can serve to create tasks in which the student can develop real situational projects that matter for the society. This is very important because it enhances the critical thinking, and helps in many areas like the development of better ways to do things. In spite of this technology  still continues to be seen as a secondary tool in third world countries, and teacher still say the textbooks have all the sources necessaries in the development of the learners education. In addition to this,   the unfortunate disposition of the Minister of education is a shame because  it does not reinforce  the qualities for the future teachers .In summary, the unquestionable influence of the teacher in the formation of the future people would be pointless to refute. Also,  people`s success   lies in the preparation that they can obtain in the classrooms; for that reason,  the future teachers must have at least basic knowledge of computer skills,  so  that  the qualities of every individual can help the create a better future to all.

                             This other entry is about my reflection of the class

 

 

Wednesday 20

 

                Every time I go to professor Cindy`s class I am looking forward to learn about the  21 first century`s  teacher . During Wednesday class she showed us how technology has helped to emerge the way subjects are taught around the world,  the way how students can engage better when they learn critical thinking, and the way teachers must learn to adapt the curriculum to the demands of a never ending society. Besides I learnt how technology   is used in  the present day an age. My doubts about how practical  it is or how useful it is technology in the classroom have been clarified, and Little by little, step by step I have learnt  the vast scope of oportunities that lies on the internet.  I have come to realized how  education can change human beings; therefore, I am fortunate to  learn computer skills. I have come to realized that learning is a never ending process, and that the more updated I can stay, the better results  I can expect from my work. My computer skill class has become the most challenging Subject, but the one I  am specting  to  get the skills so I can reinforce a better curriculum when I get to be a teacher. During Wednesday class  my english also has improved because professor Cindy has a great command of the English Language, and she definitely express everything clear; moreover, she has make me aware of the importance that lies in the acquisition of computer skills.
