Module+6+Reflections

// **Reflection Prompt 6:** //**How did understanding the standards and the pre-comp verification help you design your FE plan? How can your use your ePortfolio to help others understand how to integrate technology more effectively in the classroom?**

Throughout this course we have been learning about the NETS for coaches and students. At the beginning of this class, I completed a reflection on my NETS practices thus far. The assignment for this week was to create field experiences that will show integration of the NETS-C for all six areas.
 * Describe:**

Throughout the process of creating the pre-comp verification wiki, I learned that I have a lot to learn in order to provide my students with TPCK based teaching and learning. Initially, this made me feel guilty, like I have cheated my former students out of something they were entitled too; all while thinking I was doing the right thing the entire time. This guilt changed to excitement when completing my Field Experience Plan because I have realized that in the short two months that I have been involved in this plan I have learned so much and my students will really get to benefit from my knowledge. Besides the obvious impact that these field experiences will have on the students in my classroom, I feel that I will become a district leader in implementing technology. Once other teachers see what is possible they will want to do it too!
 * Impact:**

I will be implementing a variety of new teaching tools and professional development on an individual, classroom, and building wide level. My intentions are stated here in my field experience plan. Thank you to Dr. Ward for providing the table with the NETS-C standards already included.
 * Intent:**
