Field Experience

1.HTML Code and Video Embedding Training
2. I trained a teacher on how to add videos to her blog using the HTML code.
3. The TF standards: TF-V.a, TF-V.c, TF-V.d
4. Spring 2011
5. 2 hours, after school
6. A description of the population involved:
• Race/Ethnicity: White
• Subgroups: Teachers
• Role/Grade Level of Faculty/Staff: First Grade
7. Reflection (Answer the questions below):
• What did you learn about technology facilitation and leadership from completing this
field experience? I learned that even though I am only showing one person how to do something it is still making an impact, after sharing this with one of my co-workers, others were interested and it allowed me to train more (next Field Experience)
• 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? Knowledge: I must know how much the person I am training knows before beginning. I cannot assume that they know what HTML is, and how to find it on their blog. Skills: I must be able to have access to the internet and TypePad, our blog host website. I have to be able to show the best way (meaning easiest) to use and showing them that they can do it! Disposition: I must be positive and encouraging! This is a new concept, and the teacher may feel lost, or confused so I need to help guide her and show her that she can do it!
• Describe how this field experience impacted school improvement, faculty
development or student learning at your school. How can the impact be assessed? This helps teachers relate information to their students and parents. By being able to upload videos to their blog, they can share with the parents what their children are doing in school, and what they can do at home to help facilitation continuous learning.
