Field-based Activities Monthly Report - Part 2: Reflection
It has been a hectic month with preparing for four days off to attend the Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) and the stress of TAKS especially after the last benchmark. This year at TCEA was more exciting than the first time. The first time I attended I was in awe of the new developments in technology. This year it was just as exciting, but I saw TCEA through different eyes. I felt I could relate to my surroundings and viewed the vendors with a more critical eye as to the needs of my campus. I was very disappointed to see few free sessions; a majority of them had an additional fee. And the sessions that I did attend, I can say that only two sessions provided something new. I feel the reason for this, is the eighteen months I have spent with Lamar and the knowledge I have gained from my classes. Yet the highlight of the conference, was meeting Dr. Abernathy, Dr. Mason, Dr. Borel, and Cynthia Cummings. There was such a sense of pride in see these ladies present at the conference. I attended one of their sessions and was asked to sit on a panel the next day. I was very nervous and hesitant about accepting, but I felt this was an important part of my education as a future leader.
