Module+6+Reflection

//**Reflection: How did understanding the standards and the Pre-Admission Competencies Verification help you design your Field Experience plan? How can you use your ePortfolio to help others understand how to integrate technology more effectively in the classroom?** //

__Description:__ For this module, we had to look at the Pre-Admission Competencies Verification to begin planning our Field Experience and e-portfolio.

__Impact:__ Looking at the Field Experience requirements left me feeling very overwhelmed. I was worried I wouldn't have the correct experiences to apply for my e-portfolio, or I wouldn't have enough time to get the right experiences in. But, after looking more closely at the expectations, I realized that I was already doing some of requirements without even realizing it. It also helped me realize what areas I should be doing more with and made me think of new ways to incorporate technology in my classroom. I'm glad that I'm taking the time to look at this information now instead of waiting till I'm ready to graduate and would then be feeling extremely overwhelmed. I think the e-portfolio will help others understand how to integrate technology more effectively in their classrooms by showing them solid pieces of evidence that apply to the standards. By providing them with examples, maybe they'll be more willing and excited to try new things as well.

__Intent:__ Well one thing I realized that I'm already doing is helping colleagues in my building when they have a technology question. I'm going to begin documenting this so I have it as an artifact. I'm also going to begin working on gathering my experiences so I can start putting together my portfolio. I would like to work on it a little at a time instead of having to put it all together at the end of my program.
