It is up to the teacher to take the initiative to become computer literate and these skills passed to our students. In working with my group for this presentation I was surprised with how much of my prior knowledge I was able to link together. Students use their prior knowledge, to implement context throughout their reading. And if we will all have classrooms with a wide base of diversities, we must modify our teaching to reflect these differences. Literacy always meant to me a person having the ability to read.
Literacy has many definitions for many people.
I think that the person has to be able to function in their way of life and as a future teacher it is my responsibility to make sure my students are reaching their potential. AS a future educator it will be my responsibility to provide the best education for my students. I will have an integrated curriculum and provide a nurturing environment. My classroom will be a place where my students will feel comfortable to express their feelings, concerns, and questions without fear of being made fun of. My students will show respect to their classmates and to me and the respect will be mutual.
