My educational technology philosophy would consist of being a constructivism and existentialism, where learning is fun, hand-ons and engaging in a visual learning environment. I think students retain more information in a visual learning environment. I believe that each student is a unique individual who needs a caring and motivating classroom environment in which they can grow and mature.
You have to have a passion and love for teaching because it is important to be a lifelong learner for yourself and your students. The passion comes with expectations for yourself. Planning ahead and catering to the individual needs of your students learning styles. Not all students learn the same way. Cooperative learning and social interactive group will be a key part in facilitating students learning.
Students should have the opportunity to discover and learn from each other. The role of the teacher is the facilitator. When the teacher is the facilitator it allows students to make a stronger connection of the concept or curriculum being taught using their own ideas. When it comes to technology in the classroom, I believe there should always be a relative advantage when considering using technology. You should ask the question, is the technology enhancing the students learning?
