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 field experience required me to create and implement a project that was technology based. I learned how to trouble shoot problems, plan a differentiated technology lesson, and assess students needs with technology. The field experience helped me learn the necessary skills I need to develop to work on a technology based project and have well rounded classroom management skills.

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 used my own technology skills to create a blended learning experience for my students. It taught me how to effectively manage a classroom, and strategically plan for ways to help my students in authentic and higher order thinking. It required me make sure that my students had equitable access to technology and could navigate the technology safely and legally. It taught me that students are excited about using technologies in the classroom and that I need to find more ways to incorporate it into my classroom.

3. Describe how this field experience impacted school improvement, faculty development or student learning at your school. How can the impact be assessed? This experience impacted my students financial decision making ability and research abilities. It helped teachers who may have been resistant to technology see all of the wonderful things that it is capable of now. It can be assessed by look at the lesson plan project grades and the outlook of the department now has on technology.
