big message I got from this book was reflecting. As teachers, I think that we must
always be reflecting on our experiences. We need to ask ourselves what worked about
an assignment, and what needs to be changed and improved upon. This is a normal
thing, we must look at the rights and wrongs to shape the future paths. Without
reflection, you will never grow. Just as if a student fails a test, and never goes back to
learn what they did not understand the first time, they will never grow and learn the
material. A part of being innovative is being able to accept that something did not work,
and find a solution to the problem.
In class, we reflected a lot about what innovation meant, and discussed the
chapters we read in the book. Using this book as a guide allowed us to have productive
conversations about what innovation may look like. It helped us set a foundation for
innovation in our future careers. We dug deeper to understand how we can be
innovative, and what our classrooms may look like by doing so.
This book made me think about what it means to be innovative, but made me
realize that technology implemented in the classroom needs to be more than just
handing a student a chrome book. We talked a lot about how it takes more than a good
app, or typing on a chrome book to make technology in a classroom innovative and
useful. I will have to read this book more, to really get a full understanding and think
about how exactly I want to run my future classroom. I do know that this book has
sparked interest and will help me as a future teacher.
