Reflection
Reflection
this
technology
group,
I
was
able
to
contribute
to
the
planning,
development,
and
implementation
of
different
technology
workshops
with
the
goal
of
supporting
teachers
integrate
technology
into
their
classrooms.
In
addition
to
providing
assistance
to
teachers
during
Technology
Tuesday
workshops,
I
also
provided
support
before
and
after
school,
as
well
as
during
my
planning
period.
This
coincides
with
the
Teaching,
learning,
and
assessments
standard
for
Coaches.
During
Technology
Tuesday
workshops,
different
topics
were
addressed
to
improve
instructional
practices
and
maximize
student
learning.
The
sessions
I
led
focused
primarily
on
various
Web
2.0
tools,
interactive
websites,
and
online
assessments.
The
purpose
of
the
workshops
was
to
coach
teachers
in
planning
technology-enhanced
learning
experiences
to
support
digital-age
education
for
all
students.
The
third
standard
for
Coaches
is
Digital
age
learning
environments.
My
pedagogical
approach
to
teaching
has
transformed
immensely
over
the
past
two
years
because
of
my
ability
to
effectively
integrate
technology
into
my
lessons.
No
longer
do
I
stand
and
deliver
content
material,
but
rather
use
technology
to
its
advantage
to
design
digital
lessons
that
captivate
students
interest,
while
creating
an
engaging
learning
experience.
From
the
knowledge
gained
through
the
program,
I
am
now
able
to
use
digital
tools
and
resources
to
create
a
technology-rich
learning
environment
that
supports
student
learning
and
better
communicate
and
collaborate
with
students
and
parents.
The
fourth
of
the
standards
for
Coaches
was
that
of
Professional
development
and
program
evaluation.
Prior
to
starting
Technology
Tuesdays,
a
needs
assessment,
in
the
form
of
a
survey,
was
administered
to
staff.
Survey
results
were
used
to
create
a
schedule
of
sessions
to
be
delivered
each
Tuesday.
Prior
to
each
session
the
technology
committee
designed
and
developed
technology
lessons
that
promoted
digital
age
best
practices
in
teaching,
learning,
and
assessment.
An
evaluation
exit
ticket
was
issued
at
the
end
of
each
session
that
provided
feedback
for
future
planning.
The
fifth
standard
for
Coaches
is
Digital
citizenship.
I
have
learned
the
importance
of
digital
citizenship
early
in
the
program
and
continue
to
promote
digital
citizenship
in
my
classroom
by
modeling
safe,
legal,
and
ethical
uses
of
digital
information
and
technologies.
Additionally,
I
have
begun
to
instruct
proper
digital
citizenship
with
my
students
through
class
projects
and
the
use
of
Schoology.
Students
need
to
be
aware
of
their
actions
and
responses
when
using
technology,
therefore
modeling
safe
uses
allowed
me
to
teach
students
about
digital
citizenship.
The
sixth
and
final
standard
for
Coaches
is
Content
knowledge
and
professional
growth.
While
my
knowledge
and
skills
in
classroom
technology
has
grown
hugely,
it
is
never-ending.
Classroom
technology
is
continually
advancing
and
evolving.
It
is
important
that
I
continue
to
grow
professionally
by
continually
attending
professional
development
opportunities
and
exploring
new
tools
and
resources.
I
also
plan
to
remain
a
member
of
ISTE,
allowing
me
to
stay
current
on
the
technology
standards
for
students,
teachers,
and
coaches.
Overall,
my
journey
through
the
program
has
taught
me
so
much
more
than
I
could
have
ever
imagined.
I
have
challenged
myself
and
overcome
one
of
my
biggest
fears,
which
is
presenting.
I
never
thought
I
would
be
on
a
technology
committee,
let
alone
presenting
different
technology
topics
to
peers.
What
was
once
a
fear
is
now
a
fulfilling
and
natural
feeling
that
I
enjoy.
I
have
also
learned
how
to
successfully
prepare
a
grant
application,
which
will
provide
me
with
endless
opportunities
to
enhance
my
teaching
and
learning.
I
have
also
learned
countless
resources
that
I
would
have
otherwise
never
learned
about.
These
resources
have
helped
transform
me
into
a
21st
century
educator.
The
specific
examples
mentioned
above
are
only
a
few
examples
of
how
I
have
grown
professionally
throughout
the
program.
Not
only
was
I
able
to
grow
professionally,
but
I
have
grown
personally
as
well
throughout
the
program.
I
was
always
the
one
who
kept
quiet,
not
voicing
my
opinion
and
doing
what
was
asked
of
me.
Although
I
still
do
what
I
am
told,
I
now
have
the
courage
to
voice
my
opinion,
especially
with
regards
to
technology.
Because
of
my
experience
with
technology
and
classroom
observations,
my
principal
asked
me
to
be
one
of
the
leaders
of
the
technology
committee.
After
much
hesitation,
I
agreed
and
it
was
one
of
the
best
decisions
I
have
made
in
my
professional
career.
I
have
a
newfound
level
of
confidence
I
have
never
had
before.
Having
to
work
with
others
to
plan
and
design
technology
lessons
and
then
present
the
lessons
to
peers
is
no
longer
a
fear
of
mine.
I
will
continue
to
offer
assistance
with
technology,
keep
up-to-date
with
the
latest
and
greatest
trends
in
classroom
technology,
and
continue
implementing
current
and
new
technology
resources
and
skills
in
my
flipped
classroom.
Thanks
to
this
program
I
can
confidently
say
I
am
a
21st
century
educator,
focused
on
digital
age
teaching
and
learning,
and
look
forward
to
continuing
my
growth
both
professionally
and
personally.
