My philosophy of instructional technology is grounded in the belief that technology should serve as a bridge between learners and meaningful educational experiences, rather than an end in itself.
My philosophy of instructional technology is grounded in the belief that technology should serve as a bridge between learners and meaningful educational experiences, rather than an end in itself.
Technology should enhance and personalize the learning experience, adapting to individual student needs, learning styles, and paces. The focus must always remain on the learner, with technology serving as a powerful tool to facilitate engagement and understanding.
My approach is influenced by constructivist learning theory, where students actively build knowledge through experience and reflection. Technology can provide rich, interactive environments where students can explore, create, and collaborate. I also draw from the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework, which emphasizes the intersection of technology knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge as essential for effective teaching.
In practice, this philosophy translates to:
As technology continues to evolve, I remain committed to lifelong learning and staying current with emerging tools and pedagogical approaches. My goal is to create learning environments that are engaging, inclusive, and prepare students for success in an increasingly digital world.
