Field Experience

1.WebQuest Training
2. I trained my first grade team on WebQuests.
3. The TF standards: ****
4. Spring 2011
5. 4 hours, after school over 2 days
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? This was interesting because it went from me just sharing with my team the WebQuest that I created to showing them how to create a WebQuest! My team is loving me taking these classes and learning so much that I can take it back to them!
• 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 before hand which site to host these WebQuest would best serve my teams needs. I also need to know what type of information do they need to know in order to be successful in creating their own WebQuest. Skills: I must be able to have access to the internet and Wikispaces (the site I chose for my team to use). I have to be able to show them the easiest, and most effective way to create a WebQuest. Disposition:I always must be positive!! If I'm positive and excited about showing my team, they, in turn, will become positive and excited about creating their own WebQuest.
• Describe how this field experience impacted school improvement, faculty
development or student learning at your school. How can the impact be assessed? This helps the students in our school because this gives them another way to learn. Today's student is on the internet and we're using what they do at home to show them the internet is there to help them learn!
