| Reflection Standard 7 | ||||
| Standard 7 really put the job of facilitator into focus.� The ideas here go beyond the classroom and incorporate all things necessary to have an effective technology program.� I have ideas and suggestions for integrating technology within the curriculum and I also feel comfortable that I could plan engaging and worthwhile professional development sessions.� There are aspects of sections A and B that I still need to develop familiarity with.� I've taken Technology Facilitator, but I think the lack of actual work experience in some areas like raising money, budgeting, maintenance, and selecting hardware such as that for networks make it a little intimidating.� In the coming school year I plan to assist on the school technology committee and try to implement staff-wide workshops to assist other teachers with integrating technology within the curriculum.� These activities would help the school community as well as give me needed experience with coordinating technology plans and activities. | ||||
| The artifacts that I included for this standard are items from the course Technology Facilitator.� By introducing me to the responsibilities of those in the field I now have a clearer picture of what will be expected of me when I become a facilitator.� Evaluating the school technology plans gave me a good idea of what school districts need to consider when planning for technology integration.� The grant proposals helped us see that there are ways to get money for technology projects without always relying on the school, district and state budgets.� I had never requested a grant from any other organization but my school PTA.� Planning out the grant and then being able to implement the project after receiving the funds was a great experience for me and my students.� Finally, collaborating with a classmate (Jane) on the final project was a wonderful way to plan, create and implement a school plan for Integrating Technology with Language Arts in an effort to boost literacy.� The course was a good introduction to standard; although I hadn't realized it at the time.� It is now up to me to gain more experience through my final few courses at NJCU and other professional development workshops and conferences. | ||||
