Artifact: Blog Reflections
Reflection:
Blog reflections allowed me to share my experiences with my cohorts and professors. I was also able to view cohort's blog reflections to see what they are doing in their school. This gave me ideas of technology-enhanced learning activities to use in my own classroom.
This artifact demonstrates mastery of standard 6.2 in that I regularly reflected on my technology experiences and their usefulness to me in my professional practice. Looking back at my blog reflections I see where I have grown as a technology leader in my school to model and facilitate technology-enhanced learning experiences.
Looking back on my blog I see how I've grown in using technology in the classroom to engage students. I can also look back at times when I helped colleagues improve their technology use in the classroom. Blogs are ways to share ideas on a specific topic. This was my first experience blogging and I found that viewing similar blogs can help improve my professional practice. To improve the quality of the blog, I would have continued to update the blog even though we were not required to do so after a certain point. Blogging is an easy way to track growth over a certain period of time. It is also useful in sharing ideas with colleagues and other educators around the world.
Blogging impacts teacher development as ideas are shared not only within the school but with anyone that stumbles across the blog. Viewing other blogs has improved my professional practice since I can take their ideas and incorporate them into my own classroom. Gaining feedback from viewers on how their professional practice has changed can assess Blogs.
