Part II: Reflection

CANDIDATE REFLECTIONS:(Minimum of 3-4 sentences per question)

1. Briefly describe the field experience. What did you learn about technology facilitation and leadership from completing this field experience?This field experience required that I develop an online course based on the design principle standards of iNACOL. I knew the differences that existed be online and face to face learning, but I had not had to reconcile them before. It was difficult stripping a course down to bare boned activities only having to reimagine them, but I learned how to do this during this experience.

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.)

Because of the growing interest in teaching courses online, or teaching them in blended format. It has become an important pedagogy for technology coaches to know. There are various skills that go into course design. Much of which I was able to learn through this experience.

3. Describe how this field experience impacted school improvement, faculty development or student learning at your school. How can the impact be assessed?I will be using the skills that I learned while performing this job. To create an online course to facilitate professional learning and assess how the skills and strategies are being used afterward.
