Reflection:
Throughout my Instructional Technology program of study I have blogged about my courses, my learning, and my experiences. The entries range from skill assignments to analyzing technologies to reflecting on my learning experiences in different courses. This artifact shows that I regularly evaluate and reflect on my professional practice and dispositions by showing my thoughts and insights into what I have learned. Also my ability to analyze technologies and reflect on how I could incorporate them in my own practice is evident in my writings.
The blog was used to reflect on classes, assignments and topics. By completing these reflections, I was able to demonstrate my ability to regularly evaluate and reflect on my own professional practice and dispositions to improve and strengthen my ability to effectively model and facilitate technology-enhanced learning experiences. In these reflections I would consider how a new technology could be used in my practice and how that would affect student achievement.
Throughout this program, I regularly evaluated and reflected on my professional practice and dispositions to improve and strengthen my ability to effectively model and facilitate technology-enhanced learning experiences.
By purposefully reflecting on my work and my experiences, I can continue to grow and improve as an educator and a coach. So, broadly, I learned about my own teaching and technology practices through reflection by writing these posts.
I also appreciated the discussions I had with my classmates on these blogs. These discussions introduced me to new ideas, validated my current thinking, and allowed me to dive even deeper into my own reflections. As a technology coach, reflection is an important component for growth, and blogging is a useful way to do this - while at the same time having an impact on a larger audience. I do wish I could expand my blog to a larger audience – and post more frequently, not just for the sake of an assignment. Blogging should be a natural process and a sharing of ideas, I think a more effective a robust blog would feature instructional technology tools and projects I used in my own classroom so readers could see the technology in action.
By reflecting for growth, I will allow myself to grow as an educator and a coach to improve my teaching and help my students and other classroom teachers.
