Why Do I Choose Teaching?

I believe education is one of the most powerful tools for social transformation.

Technology has always been a core part of my work and teaching. I have used Geographic Information Systems (GIS), cartography software, data analysis tools, and various computer applications for planning and decision-making. As a college professor and CTE high school teacher, I taught subjects related to computers, geography, and information management, often integrating digital tools into lessons.

-technology can motivate students, make learning more interactive, and help me differentiate instruction to meet various learning styles and levels.

-I look forward to using digital tools for project-based learning, geographic exploration, and critical thinking—especially in social studies.

-Technology can also help students develop 21st-century skills like digital literacy, collaboration, and independent learning.

• I’m aware that not all students have equal access to devices or internet at home, which could create inequality.

• Classroom management can be challenging when using devices if students become distracted.

• As an English language learner myself, I sometimes worry about explaining complex technological tools clearly to students.
