Reflections for May 26, 2010
Training was once again extremely informative! First, I have to say that Moodle has been the best tool that has been introduced from a personal standpoint, so far, for both the manager and the intern. The collaboration that can be experienced allows interaction between students and teachers. Second, I was very unfamiliar with the idea of vodcasting and I can see now all of the potential uses for it in education and am excited to share these resources with my interns.
Some challenges in this training have been exploring technology outside of my comfort zone. I am not one to necessarily venture without a certain amount of direction but that has changed during this week. I discovered it is not some dark abyss and that anything can be accomplished with some practice.

Reflections for Tuesday, May 25
The resources that I will take from training today is a myriad of tools and knowledge that I will be able to pass down to my interns. The most important aspect of today was the integration of all the areas and learning how they can be all interconnected. I was viewing Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, and podcasting were all separate entities. The utilization of Blogger was the most essential resource that I was learned to operate today.
Thank you all so much for this for I am starting to feel as if I can keep up the intern!

Teacher Visits
Teacher visits are an extension of the classroom observations. Here, the intern can develop a trustful relationship and understand the teachers level of understanding in the use of technology. Goals and objectives for the school year can be explored and projects can be put into motion.
Teacher Observations
Teacher observations are imperative in the understanding of the uses of technology in the classroom. It is important that one is familiar with the teaching style and the integration of technology into lesson plans. The teachers level of comfort can be observed and used in creating an action plan for the school year. Understanding the student population is essential in determining the type of resources that will be recommended to the teacher.
Intern Roles and Goals
As an intern I will help incorporate technology into lesson plans and curriculum. I will provide the teachers with available and free resources in order to allow the students to become immersed within the digital environment. The teachers will become enabled with the ideas and tools in order to connect with the net generation.
Short term goals:
1. Develop a relationship with my mentor teacher and principal.
2. Determine the teachers technology ability though individual meetings as well as surveys.
3. Set up follow-up meetings in order to create goals and objectives for the school year.
Long term goals:
1. Evaluate the teachers use of technology throughout the year by observing teaching styles and recommend ideas to be implemented into the lesson plan.
2. To continually evaluate the ease of use by the teachers and their use of technology.
3. Ensure the teachers self sustainability for use of resources that can be utilized without the intern.
