5. My New Perspective
“Teachers will no longer be providers of information but instead would
be the explainers, the context providers, the meaning makers, and
evaluators” (Prensky, 2008)
NEW IDEAS
• No longer will my lessons be lecture based, but
hands on and have applications to real life.
• My classes will change from whole group to one on
one learning.
• Students will have more input on designing
instruction.
• Lesson plans need to be engaging and gameplay
• Cooperative learning is key.
• School does not end at the end of the school day.

6. • I will continue to study, learn about, and experiment
with new technology.
• I will be a technology advocate to my peers and
schools.
• I will be changing my lesson plans to
incorporate more technology and less
lecturing.
