18. Reflection As a result of this program, I believe that I am a much more effective teacher who is capable of utilizing the latest technology tools and techniques to benefit student learning. I believe that I am better equipped to be an advocate for technology in the classroom and school. I will share my strengths with fellow teachers and help them become more technology savvy as they learn to integrate technology into their classrooms as well. I believe that I have grown tremendously as a teacher as a result of this program. Consequentially, my students will be provided with a technology-rich classroom.
