Wk4-2 DB Quickies: my dream teaching/presentation environment


Topic #2: What stands in between you and your dream job? Why do you deserve to work in a dream job environment? What do you bring to the table? Be specific.

The only problem I see that stands in the way of my dream job is that position is called a Technology Coach and just this past school year, half way through my EMDT program, my district down sized those positions. Most of the people with those jobs either had to go back into the classroom and still be Technology Coach or they had to find another job out side the district.

I feel that if I put in the time and effort in attaining a Master’s degree in EMDT to be called Highly Qualified in my district then I deserve the a shot at the position. After all, it’s the main reason I came back to school because it was the dream job I wanted. I learned more about incorporating media into lessons to increase student engagement. I had plans of sharing that with my students but also with other teachers throughout my district. I feel that learning new Web 2.0 tools that are proven student stimuli is what I can bring to the table. I have seen my students in my own classes participate more in learning when I have introduced Web 2.0 tools to them from the EMDT program that I was exposed to.
