6.1 Continuous Learning


Candidates demonstrate continual growth in knowledge and skills of current and
emerging technologies and apply them to improve personal productivity and professional
practice. (PSC 6.1/ISTE 6a, 6b)
Reflection
During this field experience, I attended iSummit located at The Westmister School in
Atlanta. This was a large conference led by technology leaders from across the country.
Educators and technology leaders from around the southeastern United States attended
this conference.
Standard 6.1 states that candidates demonstrate continual growth in knowledge and
skills of current and emerging technologies and apply them to improve personal
productivity and professional practice. Attending this conference was a great way to
show continual growth as a technology leader, as it is important to stay at the forefront
of current and innovative ways to implement technology within your school. To learn
about current and emerging technologies, I attended various sessions on flipped
classrooms, SAMR model, learning with IPADS, and developing a technology
integration department at your school. Attending each of these sessions was inspiring and
reminded me just how encouraging it is to share out the different ways you are using
technology to improve your teaching. Each session was packed with strategies on how to
apply these technologies to improve personal productivity and professional practice.
Through this experience, I most enjoyed learning from both local and professional
leaders in EdTech. It taught me the importance of sharing out what you are doing with
other colleagues whether at a conference, blog, Twitter. As our field is rapidly
changing, it is important to share and collaborate with other educators.
This experience relates directly to school improvement, faculty development, and student
learning as it promoted various strategies, methods, and programs that impacted all
members of the educational community. The impact can be measured in various ways
depending on the implemented strategy or program.
