Date(s) 1 st Field Experience Activity/Time PSC/ISTE Standard(s) Reflection (Minimum of 3-4 sentences per question)
2/14/2013 Attended a Technology Teacher Leaders Conference for the county. (8 hrs). I was introduced to My Big Campus, Using the Splice App., and how to make Prezis. ITSE NETS-C 6. a, b 1. Briefly describe the field experience. What did you learn about technology facilitation and leadership from completing this field experience?
I went to a conference on how to implement technology into the classroom. These tools are purchased or used by the county and encouraged. I learned some new tools and well as brushed up on ones I have already learned. I was able to come back to my team of teachers and show them the new things I learned as well as share what is going to be mandatory for next year.
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 type of field experience was a form of professional development that not only I could take back as a teacher and help with my students but also as a technology coach for my school. In order to use what I learned best, I would have to make sure I was able to perform the functions of My Big Campus, Splice and Prezi and show teachers how to implement.
3. Describe how this field experience impacted school improvement, faculty development or student learning at your school. How can the impact be assessed?
This field experience impacted my school improvement because My Big Campus will be made mandatory next year, so it is incredibly important at least one person per team knows how to use it well to help colleagues. It also helps student improvement because I was learning valuable tools to incorporate in lessons that are not as highly engaging.
Date(s) 2 nd Field Experience Activity/Time PSC/ISTE Standard(s) Reflection (Minimum of 3-4 sentences per question)
02/15/2013 Taught a teacher how to use Prezi and add voice over to it. (2 hrs.) ISTE NETS-C 3. f and g 1. Briefly describe the field experience. What did you learn about technology facilitation and leadership from completing this field experience?
I taught my team leader how to make a Prezi. She needed to do a presentation in her curriculum

meeting and instead of using power point, I suggested she use Prezi. She was unfamiliar with this, so I showed her how to use it. We took the information that she had on the power point and converted it to Prezi. I then showed her how to make MP3 files and attach it to the path steps. I learned that teachers are very excited about the new technologies out there, but they really need someone to show them if they feel intimidated.
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 field experience crossed over to the previous field experience on this sheet. I was able to learn about a particular program and affectively coach another colleague. I was able to help trouble shoot and show her how to navigate the basics of Prezi easily. I had to be patient in showing her and when she asked questions. Knowing I could not answer everything, I showed her to the technical support page. She was very excited about the collaboration we made in this project.
3. Describe how this field experience impacted school improvement, faculty development or student learning at your school. How can the impact be assessed?
The field experience helped improve school morale. Teachers are sometimes weary of asking questions about technology because we do not have a full time IT person on campus, so knowing there are knowledgeable people they can turn to is great. The impact can be assessed because more teachers are using more technology.
