Reflection
(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 was my initial contact with student
since he was moved into my class. I
learned from this that the student could
easily use the resource to gain an
advantage over his classmates and close
monitoring and restrictions would need
to be utilized.

2. How did this learning relate to the

knowledge (what must you know),

and dispositions (attitudes, beliefs,
enthusiasm) required of a technology
facilitator or technology leader?

Part I. Use the language of the PSC
standards in your answer and reflect

A large of component of this experience
involved me being able to know where
the line of fair for the student in the short

term vs long term was located. Being

able to use a laptop on an assessment can
easily skew itself towards immediate
success, but autocorrect is present it can
hinder the students ability to grow in his
ability to write well without it.

impacted school improvement, faculty
development or student learning at
your school. How can the impact be

I paid careful attention to insuring

that he was able to successfully
complete the task that required that
research border disputes in colonial
Latin America and draw them on a
map, while citing the treating that
resolved the dispute. His therapist
and I felt that this would be a good
bridge between his therapy and
accommodations.

to work coorperatively so that our work

does not oppose one another.
