Writing my philosophy for educational technology took some time. I know my beliefs and what I wanted to say, but it was a struggle putting my thoughts into sentences. Plus, you can't just say what you believe because you have to support your thinking with evidence. I even found my original portfolio (three ring binder), from seventeen years ago, and referred to it as guidance for reflecting. It's amazing seeing the hard proof of how much education has changed, including the work produced. One of my artifacts in the binder was a review of the Internet. Reading that and thinking about present today, solidifies my thoughts of the necessity for technology. I can't function without the Internet! Taking this class right now wouldn't be possible without it. Using my previous portfolio helped start my philosophy.
The readings from this week were useful resources to use as reference for writing my philosophy. I also referred to the famous philosopher Dewey for insightful quotes. Using the TPACK framework is important to me, so I included my beliefs about it too.
My philosophy is written in a chronological format, and a true reflection-written from the heart. Writing my philosophy was an endeavor I was happy to partake because it forced me to review my beliefs and see how they've changed over the years.
