In facilitating and inspiring
student learning and creativity, I am able to model collaborative knowledge
construction be engaging in learning with students and colleagues in both face
to face and virtual environments. I have used Skype to chat with colleagues
from other schools and model collaboration for the students by working on cross
curricular projects with other teachers. I need to learn more educational
software programs so that I can promote and model creative and innovative
thinking.
I am able to design or adapt
relevant learning experiences incorporating digital tools in my work as advisor
and teacher for the yearbook class. I have worked digitally on yearbooks at
over five schools and used different software programs at each school and
quickly became familiar with the various techniques. I have not had the time to
customize and personalize learning styles using digital tools and resources.
In producing the electronic
newsletters for our school’s parents and faculty, I have collaborated a great
deal with people asking me to post articles, images, photos, google docs and
links. I will need to teach these programs – specifically Dreamweaver and
Blackbaud – to my replacement as I am moving on to another career opportunity.
I strive to be a good example
of digital citizenship, and am very polite and have good digital communication
etiquette, and am fully aware that each and every electronic communication that
I send can be disseminated to the world at large. I am less certain about the
copyright issues that arise in my use of photos found on line that I use for
internal documents.
I have been so focused on my
graduate school studies for my MLIS that I have not been able to participate in
learning communities other than those at the University of North Texas. I have
learned a great deal in this program, but look forward to reaching out to a
larger community when I am finished.
