4/28/14 5:00pm 7:00pm 2
Today I began participating in a Grade 3-8
Science Inquiry Course to evaluate how to
assess students (teachers) taking this course.
I evaluated Module 1 and began constructing
a sample action plan to use as a sample for
grading. I am going to go through this course
as a student and complete each module so
that I can fully understand the requirements
of the online professional development from
the students perspective.
4/29/14 5:00pm 7:00pm 2
Today, I continued to evaluate the 3-8
Science Course as a participant. I completed
Module 2 and constructed the second section
of the student required Action Plan. I took
detailed notes about the topics and
objectives as well as determined what the
students would be required to learn in this
module.
4/30/14 5:00pm 7:00pm 2
Today, I continued to evaluate the 3-8
Science Course as a participant. I completed

action plan to my internship coordinator.
We determined that along with the action
plan, I will need to come up with simple
rubrics to use when grading the discussion
board participation and each section of the
action plan. We determined that since I am
evaluating two courses, I will hold off on the
rubric creation until I evaluate the next
course as well.
5/5/14 5:00pm 7:00pm 2

Internship Meeting with Beth: I gave my
coordinator an update on how I was doing
with my course evaluations. We set a plan to
have the Assessment course evaluation
completed in the next week. I was given
guidelines for my main project, which will be
creating Power Points for the elementary
virtual school for 5
th
Grade Math. I set up a
tutorial meeting so I can learn how to
complete the assignment. I was given over
100 hours to complete two semesters of
course creation for 5
th
Grade Math.
5/19/14 5:30pm 7:30pm 2
Today, I had a meeting for SADL (the
Seminole County Elementary Virtual School).
I met with Erin, who has been working on
this project and we had a live session via Go
Meeting so that I could shadow her
completing a module. Then, she watched as I
completed a module. It was very in depth
and I took copious notes on the
requirements that I need to have in each
individual lesson. I will be creating twelve
chapters of math work for an entire school
year. This will include over 100 individual
lessons for students. I have a course
builders guide that I will be following when I
complete each lesson. Each lesson has a
unique naming convention that I must follow
after I create/update each slide. I also need
to save the files as a jpeg so that they can be
uploaded to Blackboard. Additionally, after I
am done creating all the lessons for each
semester, I have to create a Pages document
for the Learning Coaches, so that they can
follow along with each lessons requirements
with their assigned students. I have not used
Pages before, so I will need to take a tutorial
online to see how to utilize the software to
the best of my ability. I also have templates
that I can use to build each lesson, but they
will have to be modified for each lesson.
5/20/14 5:00pm 7:00pm 2
Today, I continued to evaluate the
Assessment Course as a participant. I
completed Module 4 and constructed the
next section of the student required Action
Plan. I took detailed notes about the topics
and objectives as well as determined what
the students would be required to learn in
this module.
5/21/14 4:00pm 5:00pm 1
Today, I was given the task of reviewing an
Online Keyboarding course for elementary
students. I was able to look at the teachers
manual, complete a few lessons as a student,
view the data collected as a teacher, and
determine its overall effectiveness for our
students in the district. I then wrote up a
summary of my findings, including both
positive and negative as well as cost
projections.
5/21/14 6:30pm 8:30pm 2
Today, I continued to evaluate the
Assessment Course as a participant. I
completed Module 5 and constructed the
next section of the student required Action
Plan. I took detailed notes about the topics
and objectives as well as determined what
the students would be required to learn in
this module. I submitted my completed
sample action plan to my internship
coordinator and was notified to set up a
Google Doc with Teresa, an Instructional
Designer, so that we can collaborate on
rubrics to use to evaluate the discussion and
action plan for both courses.
5/22/14 4:00pm 5:00pm 1
Today, I developed rubrics for both Intel
Courses to use as assessments in online PDs
for the 3-8 Inquiry Science course and the
Assessment course. I shared my Google Doc
with Teresa and we worked virtually
together to try to determine how to best
evaluate the students in these courses. Due
to low enrollment though, the courses may
need to wait to be rolled out until the Fall.
5/25/14 8:00am 9:00am 1
Today, I began Unit 1 of the SADL course
design for 5
th
Grade Math. I used my notes
and began to create the first few lessons for
the course. I sent them to Erin to check over
for accuracy. Everything looked great, so I
will continue tomorrow on my endeavor.
5/27/14 6:00pm 8:00pm 2
Today I continued and completed Unit 1 of
the SADL course design for 5
th
Grade Math. I
contacted my coordinator and we will have a
meeting tomorrow so that she can review my
work thus far. I have a few questions to ask
about layout and some information to be
included in some of the Power Points, so I am
anxious to have my questions answered so
that I can continue my work.
5/29/14 3:15pm 4:15 pm 1
Today I had my Internship Meeting with
Beth. We reviewed my Module 1 for 5
th

Grade Math. She was very impressed with
my attention to detail. She was able to
answer all of my questions and gave me the
green light to continue to develop the rest of
the 5
th
grade course on my own schedule
after my rubrics are finalized.
6/2/2014 7:00am 8:00am 1
Today, I finished developing rubrics for the
Intel Courses. I reviewed them with the
Instructional Designers and we determined a
two-point rubric as needed for discussions
and five point rubrics for each section of the
action plan. We will use my completed
action plans as a guide to ensure that the
students are completing original action
plans. The courses have been pushed to the
Fall so I will not get to evaluate students for
my Internship, however they will be using
the materials I created when a teacher is
assigned to the course in the Fall.
6/2/2014 8:00am 12:00pm 4
Today, I discovered an error in my first Unit
of the 5
th
grade course design. I had left out a
sentence on some of the slides. So, I went
back and fixed Unit 1 of the SADL course
design for 5
th
Grade Math. Due to this error, I
created a checklist so that I can ensure that I
maintaining accuracy throughout this
building process.
6/2/2014 12:30pm 4:30pm 4
Today, I began Unit 2 of the SADL course
design for 5
th
Grade Math. I decided to
follow the checklist that I created and do a

Development Website. Our district is
considering outsourcing some professional
development for teachers. This company
provides webinars for teachers to take on
their own time. They work with the district
to keep track of each teachers hours, and
completion. Administrators are able to
schedule school specific webinars for their
staff as well. I gave my analysis of the
company to my coordinator and she set up a
meeting with the company so that we can
determine if the cost and service would be
best for our district.
6/4/14 1:00pm 2:00pm 1

lot of difficult content for the students. I was
able to see all of the work that the students
will be completing. I was also able to finally
link how the students will be utilizing the
online portion of their math book as they
learn throughout the semester. I learned
that there are so many different hands-on
activities and games for the students to be
able to practice their math skills with
throughout this module.

can be uploaded on to Black Board. This was
a very rewarding feeling that everything that
I have been creating is going to go Live.
6/18/14 7:00am 11:00am 4
Today, I began to re-write the Learning
Coach Guide (LCG) for Semester 1. I had to
use Pages to create this document. Next, I
had to make a checklist for every lesson so
that the coaches would be able to clearly
understand and help students complete all of
the requirements for each lesson. Due to the
Common Core shift, I had to create the Pages
document from scratch.
6/18/14 11:30am 2:30pm 3
It took a full seven hours of work, but I
completed each individual checklist, for each
lesson for the entire Fall Semester for fifth

since there are not as many vacation days.
Again, it was a very tedious task, but it is so
important so that we know that the coaches
are helping the students follow the
requirements of the course.
6/23/14 7:00am 11:00am 4
After updating my coordinator on my
progress, we decided that I should begin
Semester 2 of Third Grade Course Design for
SADL. The first semester was already
completed. In order to maintain consistency,
I request samples of the previous semester in
order to ensure that my creations are the
same for the second semester. I spent time
