Reflection:
The artifacts I am using for Standard 6.1 Continuous Learning, are from the Georgia Educational Technology Consortium Conference (GAETC). The purpose of the images is to confirm my attendance at both the 2017 and the 2018 conferences. I took the pictures and captured the screenshots while attending these conferences.
Standard 6.1, Continuous Learning establishes the expectations for continual growth in knowledge and skills of current and emerging technologies and apply them to improve personal productivity and professional practice. In attending the Google Forms and Google Tour Builder sessions at the GAETC, I demonstrate my continuous growth in knowledge and skill of current and emerging technologies. When I returned from the conferences, I am expected to redeliver information and skills that I learned. In collaborating with a colleague on how we could use Google Forms to create our awards certificates more efficiently, I was able to apply knowledge and skills to improve personal productivity and professional practice. The next year, we were able to build on those principles to incorporate benchmark and gradebook data to help us determine how to best help are students needing remediation and other additional supports.
While attending these conferences, I so much about new technology for use in the classroom. I also learned additional strategies that were not technology-based, but that I could use in my online courses. I learned about enabling choice and voice by allowing my students more choice in which topic to research and how to present their findings. I also learned about the benefits of allowing students to revise their work until they display mastery. To improve the process, I would attend more technology coach sessions, so I can learn more from active professionals in my field on how to best serve as a technology coach.
Attending the GAETC conferences impacted faculty development and student learning. I learned about a variety of technologies and strategies that I could redeliver and use with my students. Using the strategies learned at the conference impacted student learning. Impact can assessed of faculty development, by evaluating m redelivery of technology skills learned and the implementation of them at our school. Impact can be assessed of student learning by evaluation of their mastery of content and scores on portfolios.
