What? For my final relfection, I wanted to post something about how I plan to actually incorporate my future (ideal) teaching job with technology. When it comes to teaching, I would really like to use my degree to go abroad and teach English to foreign language learners. I was just talking with several friends about this today, and I also heard from a missionary this morning about how she has the opportunity to teach English in China. There is such a need for teachers to teach English in today's world. I could even use this kind of teaching position to bring the gosepl to people in other countries.
So What? Since I know that I want to go abroad at some point, even if it's only for a year, I wanted to brainstorm several ways I could incorporate technology with this kind of job. Technology could enable me to maintain a blog in various languages so that parents and students alike could read what I post in their own language. I also could post links to websites that are interactive and could add to their English learning experience. I think that the more resources that students have available for them to use, the more immersed they would become in a language.
Now What? I am so excited to hopefully teach English someday and also to use technology in my profession. I also have many friends within my Ed. cohort who are wanting to teach English possibly, and I think that we should encourage one another to pursue using technology to help us teach English better. This summer I'm planning on taking the TESL course in which I hope to use technology to do several of the assignments.

That's so awesome Lauryn! The students that you teach will be so fortunate to have you. Did you have a particular place you would prefer teaching?
