Artifact: Blog
Reflection:
This artifact is a collection of blog posts from throughout this program. At the end of each course, I wrote a reflection about what I learned throughout the course. This artifact serves as a summary of the wealth of knowledge that I have gained by completing each course. This knowledge includes technology leadership, online teaching, web design, personalized learning, professional learning and technology innovation, research, internet tools, and 21st century teaching and learning. These skills represent a toolbox necessary for a 21st century educator or technology coach to succeed.
This artifact demonstrates mastery of standard 6.2. The standard states that I can should be able to regularly evaluate and reflect on my professional practice and dispositions to improve and strengthen my ability to effectively model and facilitate technology-enhanced learning experiences. Throughout this program, I regularly evaluated and reflected on my learning. At the end of every course, I reflected on what I learned and evaluated how this knowledge can help me in the future. This constant reflection helps to ensure that this knowledge will make the maximum impact in the future. It is also important for teachers to constantly be able to reflect on their professional practice and dispositions. This is something that I do daily. There is always room for a teacher to improve on what they are doing. It is important to be able to reflect on what went well and what did not.
Through creating this artifact, I feel that I have become much more confident with creating reflections. I have a much better understanding of the importance of being able to put your reflections into writing. In the past, I frequently reflected on my practice but never put it into writing. When you are able to put your reflections into writing, I feel that your memory of the reflection becomes much firmer. You also have the ability to go back and read these reflections. This is something that I feel needs to be done daily. This does not have to be formal or long, but putting these reflections into writing and organizing them will make your memory much firmer. If I could change anything about this experience, I would reflect a little more frequently than once per course. I think a short weekly or monthly reflection would provide better information than the reflections that I completed.
This artifact impacts student learning. Constant reflection will improve the way I teach. As I constantly improve the way I teach, students will experience a better learning experience. The variabilities of student learning styles and abilities makes it important for a teacher to understand how to interact with each of them. This impact can be measured by looking at student achievement on benchmark assessments and state tests. It can also be measured through analyzing classroom walkthrough data.
