Field-based Activities Monthly Report - Part 2: Reflection
August, 2011 I felt it was important to establish a repoire with my grade level as it was our first time working together as a team. My goal was to build a professional collaborative relationship with my colleagues. To interact in sharing best practices, implement differentiated instruction, and integrate technology into our curriculum. I felt that establishing these common goals would promote student learning and success. In sharing with my colleagues I found that neither one was proficient with technology. They found technology to be a hindrance and preferred not to bother with it. I asked if I assumed the responsibility to integrate technology into our lesson plans would they try to use it. I shared with them my passion for technology and while working on my Master’s I had found many articles supporting the integration of technology to enhance student learning. I was willing to share the articles and they said no, they would take my word for it. I must say that they have enjoyed the sites I have shared with them. I found out that they were eager to implement technology but not eager to do the research. As long as I provided the resources and lessons, they had no problems! Williamson, J. & Redish, T. (2009).
