Reflection
(Minimum of 3-4 sentences per question)
1. Briefly describe the field experience. What did you learn about technology coaching and technology leadership from completing this field
experience?

This field experience involved preparation and presenting at the Upstate Technology Conference (UTC) in Greenville, South Carolina in July of 2018. As an
Instructional Technology Specialist, I was selected to share information on various Web 2.0 tools with UTC attendees. Through this field experience, I
learned how to research content applicable to teaching and learning, create content, and how to deliver material that is digestible to an audience of a wide
variety

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 above. Use the language of the PSC
standards in your answer and reflect on all 3—knowledge, skills, and dispositions.)

Knowledge - ​In order to complete this field experience, it was necessary to be knowledgeable of the Web 2.0 tools Google Tour Builder. Between each
presentation, attendees were able to learn how to use the Tour Builder within their learning environments.
Skills -​ ​This UTC presentation required a great deal of preparation and research. It was necessary to curate material for delivery and for attendees to be able
to access materials as a future resource. It was also imperative to be able to effectively share the relevance of my content.

Dispositions - ​In order for this presentation to be successful, it was necessary to possess a disposition of honesty, transparency, and positivity for attendees.

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

Since this field experience reached a wide audience, it is my hope that the strategies that I provided are beneficial within their environments. Based on the
level of engagement and feedback, I was able to measure the success of this field experience. The goal is for attendees to begin to leverage the presented
tools within their own environments to support their colleagues and students.
