Hello there everyone, my name is Joshua Sanchez and I am an Elementary Education Major who is planning on student teaching in the spring of 2014.  After completing my student teaching successfully I will graduate in at the end of the year in 2014.

Some of my future teaching goals that I have looking forward are to graduate and teach for 5 or so years here in Indiana somewhere.  I do not have a particular preference for the area in which I end up at but getting a job in general would be wonderful.  I hope to be anywhere from a 3rd grade teacher up to 5th grade or so.  That being said that I wish to be an elementary educator, I shall be teaching all subject areas in the classroom.

I believe that technology is an important part of teaching and learning in the classroom due to the value that the technology can bring to the classroom.  When used correctly, the technology can have an extremely beneficial factor on your students learning.  Therefore, I see the great value in using technology in the classroom with the students and others in the school.

I am enrolled into this class because I find a great deal of importance in using technology in the classroom and with students.  That being said, I must first understand how to use the technology correctly, appropriately, and ethically.

Some of the main goals that I have set forth for my time in this class are:  One of the goals that I have for this class is to dig deeper into the field of technology in the classroom, and become more well versed in the importance.  To make connections with this class and the other classes that I have taken to develop a more rounded understanding of technology.  Continue my growth as a future educator to develop a higher understanding and top notch educational background.
