Reflection:
Field experiences, structured and unstructured were required for almost every course in the Instructional Technology Program at Kennesaw State University. The artifact to show mastery of this standard is my unstructured field experience from ITEC 7400. For this experience I designed a professional development day for teachers for November 26, 2012. This consisted of a full day of classes in technology for teachers to use in the classroom. I recruited teachers to teach classes and designed classes for them to teach. The mastery comes not through doing the actual field experience but logging, reflecting, and understanding how it applies to standards.
Standard 6.3 requests candidates to engage in appropriate field experiences to synthesize and apply the content and professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions identified in these standards. This artifact demonstrates that I not only engaged in the field experience but also reflected on it and applied it to the necessary Instructional Technology and ISTE standards. By participating in these activities and reflecting on them, it allowed me to grow professionally to understand what I had accomplished and what I might need to do in the future to improve.
After completing two years of work on my Master’s Degree, I now see the importance of these experience logs. These logs allowed me to analyze and reflect on what I had done in my field. Now that I have completed two years of work I can see a difference in the first log I completed and the very last for ITEC 7500, capstone log.
This experience has made a huge impact on me professional, therefore influencing Darlington School. The impact can be seen in my collaboration with teachers and administrators. I know now how to reflect, communicate and partner on new ideas, professional development and the use of technology in the classroom at my school.
