Module+6+Reflection


 * How did understanding the standards and the pre-comp verification help you design your FE plan? How can your use your ePortfolio to help others understand how to integrate technology more effectively in the classroom?**


 * __Describe__:** For this module, we began filling out our Field Experience and ePortfolio plan by using our Pre-Admission Competencies Verification.


 * __Impact__:** Looking at the Field experience requirements was a little overwhelming. I was unsure if I would be able to meet all of the technology standards with the correct experiences. Understanding the standards gave me ideas on ways I could collect field experience. After looking over my Pre-Admission Competencies Verification, I saw that I already have met some of the standards, I just need to enhance upon my technological practices. There were some areas I realized I need to pay more attention to and really think about creative ways to implement technology into my classroom. However, this is something I need to do NOW, instead of waiting until it is time to graduate and then scrambling to fit all of these experiences in somewhere. By doing this planning now, I will always be thinking of ways to implement technology and I will be able to take advantage of opportunities to collect field experience should they arise. The ePortfolio will help others understand how to integrate technology by showcasing exemplary ways to incorporate technology into what they teach. It will supply evidence to the standards that they may be unfamiliar with. Hopefully, after seeing how advantageous using technology on a routine basis is, they will be willing to do the same.

__**Intent**:__ I am already the go – to person on my teaching team for any problems with technology. This is because I am the one who uses it the most out of the four of us. I am going to start a documentation log, as suggested to me in a discussion log, so I can use this as an artifact. I also plan on talking more in depth with our IT guy to see if there will be any opportunities I can take advantage of to gather some experience. I would like to start working on this, so if I need some extra time, I will have it and I won’t be so overwhelmed come graduation!
