My basic goal as a university educator is to create a teaching-learning environment where I can find my students as critical thinkers. Additionally, motivating my students is one of my primary goals which are very important. I believe I can evoke them through interaction, active learning, effective participation, and communication. My job is to help my students be successful. I work hard to help them do their best in the class. I believe that I am committed to my students’ education; I hope to influence and inspire them for active learning, critical thinking and inquiry. I am confident that I can make them future leaders. I also feel that innovative technologies should be used. Technology pervades practically every aspect of our lives, and research demonstrates that incorporating technology into our curriculum improves and deepens learning.
