Philosophy of Education

The purpose of education is to instruct an individual for the betterment of themselves and the betterment of society.  Education serves as a medium to which people learn, grow and develop.  God wants us to be educated so that we can go about His business and continue leading souls to His righteousness.  The Bible declares that we must train up a child in the ways that they should go and when they are older they shall not depart.  This tells us that we must lead the way for the younger generations and the beginning step to get this accomplished is to educate them.  In today’s society media serves as a mass form to help educate others.  As well as technology allowing educators to form the curriculum with enrichment activities to help enhance educational experiences.  The perfect example of educating others with enrichment can be seen through Jesus and that can share light upon the world as to what implications we should take to educate others.  Jesus is the shepherd to the world, and as teachers we are shepherds to our flock of students and must use all of our knowledge and resources to help train our students to become productive Christians.
            One of the main resources that serves as a means to help develop students educational opportunities is technology.  Technology in education has allowed for educators to incorporate enhancers into their lessons and curriculum.  A lot of students learn through a variety of learning styles.  The process of being able to include technology into a curriculum or classroom setting, will give the students a rich learning experience while learning through a hands-on, engaging experience.
            My theory of teaching technology stands firmly upon having a hands-experience.  I feel that students learn best through the processing of “doing.” And this can be seen when students are able to learn about technology through manipulation of the technology resources.  Hence teachers should teach technology by implementing it into their classrooms.
