Reflection on My Participation in ICT Project

Walking on the thin ice? is the right phrase to describe my pace and feeling right now. It is the sixth year since I came to Nan-jung. During these years, I have been through several position transfers. At the present moment, if I still want to tell others that I am just as green as ever and my ability is quite limited, then I am really going against my enthusiasm when I first devoted myself into education.
Looking back on the day when I came to Nan-jung, I only had one simple thought:??If I only teach the students well, I would gain respect from the society.?? However, as I spend time with the students everyday, my self-respect being a teach has been going down gradually. It??s because some kids constantly challenge and push the limit of ??discipline???Xthe last resort of education. On top of that, occasionally, I could feel the general public??s view for teachers as labors who provide knowledge. Such cynical mentality has pushed me to reflect. Facing rapidly changing trends of the society, I have to change my ways of teaching and my mentality if I want to become a teacher who truly fits in the trend of time. I have to empower myself with abilities other than my own profession, such as information, networking, technology and so on. Building up other expertise other than my own subject and raising up my own personal and professional image; reinforcing my international view within and teaching in a more international point of view. Helping kids adjust to the pulsation of the future world. Through all these, respect can be earned once again from the general public and the students. I could jump out of the traditional mode of depending on the whip to temperately frighten the kids from overstepping their boundaries.
I am not someone with the background of information expertise and my perception of computer and internet may be the same as those of non-information-professional teachers, yet I was willing to be given the mission of joining the ICT project and saw it as the chance of a life. Indeed, it makes my teaching career colorful, so I am glad to share with the readers my thoughts at this stage. The future holds lots of difficulties and challenges, perhaps, but I am still happy to conquer them along side with my work partners at school.
