7.Reflection:

• What did you learn about technology facilitation and leadership from completing this field experience? I learned that it takes a lot of patience! I had to try my hardest to not take over and do it for my team mate, which a lot of time, I try to do.

• How did this learning relate to the knowledge (what you must know), skills (what you must be able to do) and dispositions (attitudes, beliefs, enthusiasm) required of a technology facilitator? As a technology facilitator, I must know what I am being asked, and what is the easiest way to show and teach what I know. I need to be able to explain the teachers in the easiest terms for them, so they do no get frustrated. I must have a positive attitude when it comes to helping others and not get frustrated when them when they don't "get it". I must be positive and let them know that they CAN do it, and it's not as hard as they think it is. The team mate I was helping in this field experience was so afraid of technology and thought everything was too hard. As I was showing her what she wanted to do in her blog she kept saying, "is that all?" and "it's really THAT easy?". It was great telling her, yes, it's really that easy!! :-)
