Each session lasted 1 hour. The student I worked with is in a
wheelchair due to a muscle condition where she can cannot walk
or use her arms much when things are at length. I n our session,
we used a slant board and a table provided for her mother. I
provided the iPad and the application that was worked on during
these sessions. The student is going into the 8
th
grade. Nothing is
cognitively wrong with the student so we used the application
Edupad (iTooch) to work on getting her ahead in Language and
Math. We spent the last thirty minutes of the last session looking at
the music application of Edupad.

1. Briefly describe the field experience.
What did you learn about technology
facilitation and leadership from
completing this field experience?

I learned that it takes a lot of
planning and going through
different digital tools to find the
best product to help a student with
special needs. After googling,
downloading and trying out
products I finally settled on one

DIVERSITY

that I downloaded from the app
store called Edupad. This is all part
of being a leader of technology. The
students will definitely benefit from
the teacher or facilitator
researching the software or
application and receiving training
on the assistive technology product
that is being used.

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.)

The student that was involved in
this experience is getting a head
start on learning the 8
th
grade
standards that she will be taught
and will be required to master
before the end of the upcoming
school year.

She will be able to have prior
knowledge of the standards that will
be taught to her in 8
th
grade, which
will give her a head start on skills
and standards thats required to be
mastered by the end of the
upcoming school year.

The student that was involved in
this experience was very excited
about the experience. She loves
technology and learning new
concepts comes very easy to her.
She kept stating to me that she is
going to be the smartest 8
th
grader
at her school. She is ready to start
8
th
grade in a few weeks with a very
enthusiastic attitude!


3. Describe how this field experience
impacted school improvement, faculty
development or student learning at
your school. How can the impact be
assessed?

This will help the student with
learning new skills and standards
for the next school year. She will
have prior knowledge of the skills
and standards when her teachers
are teaching them starting in a few
short weeks. She is one step ahead
and ready to take on the task of
completing 8
th
grade successfully!
