Part II: Reflection
 CANDIDATE REFLECTIONS:
(Minimum of 3-4 sentences per question)

1. Briefly describe the field experience. What did you learn about technology facilitation and
leadership from completing this field experience?

This experience has been really exciting. I have had the opportunity to collaborate with a co-
worker on a level that I have never collaborated before. We even built our own course page on
D2L to house all of our students so that even if our students do not have one or the other as a
teacher--they can still participate and get all the knowledge. I am glad we chose to build the
course because that is something we can now use to model future technology integration. I learned
that you have to have a very high level of patience when facilitating and leading technology
endeavors. So many people will be at different levels of technology use proficiency that it is
difficult to move at the pace I want to move. I also had the chance to experience the role of
leadership within technology during this experience. I learned that if you can teach adults how to
use technology in a meaningful way--they are extremely grateful.

2. How did this learning relate to the knowledge (what must you know), skills (what must you
be able to do) and dispositions (attitudes, beliefs, enthusiasm) required of a technology
facilitator or technology leader? (Refer to the standards you selected in Part I. Use the
language of the PSC standards in your answer and reflect on all 3knowledge, skills, and
dispositions.)

This experience requires a relatively large fund of knowledge and skills. All of the language arts
and social studies content knowledge were required as well as the knowledge of the functionality
of D2L. Then, I must also know how to develop lessons in a clear and logical way throughout the
unit. Since I am working with another teacher we both have to have a pretty solid set of
technology skills in order to be able to effectively collaborate in the D2L course that we built. If
either of us lacked those skills one or the other would be entirely burdened with the amount of
work it takes to build a course from scratch. She and I both wholeheartedly believe that
technology integration is the future of education on and even higher level than it is now. We both
are excited and enthusiastic about the possibilities of effective use of technology.

3. Describe how this field experience impacted school improvement, faculty development or
student learning at your school. How can the impact be assessed?

This field experience impacts school improvement, faculty development, and student learning
within my school. It impacts school improvement because we are integrating technology in a way
that can be reproduced, modeled, and documented for future lessons and training purposes. It
impacts faculty development because my coworker and I are modeling effective collaboration and
technology integration that other teachers can learn from. Additionally, the course that we are
developing is also an artifact that can be used over and over again by us and other teachers.
Student learning is being impacted because it is expanding far beyond the walls of the school, it is
offering authentic learning experiences for them, and they are developing their technology skill
set.
