As I entered this course I recall engaging in my first Black Board Sync Session, and feeling overwhelmed by the content. As Dr. Fuller went through the information my anxiety began to slowly melt away. Dr. Fuller clearly explained the details of the assignments in a way that made them palatable, and intriguing. The cheery disposition and confidence she bestowed in the students made me feel at ease. As it turns out, I was right to feel that way.
ITEC 7410 is a class that requires a fair amount of research, but because the vast majority of the assignments are directly related to your personal school, it makes each assignment interesting. This was the first time in eight years I looked at the school technology plan, and honestly the first time I closely examined the Kell Learning Plan. The research conducted gave me insight to what the school currently does well, and where improvements can be made. I particularly enjoyed writing a new technology vision for the school. I felt like I was able to take the strong aspects currently working in the school and improve upon the weaknesses, based on what is actually going on daily in the classrooms.
As I continue with this program I hope to take on more of a leadership role regarding technology in the school. I feel confident that the information I obtained in this course will contribute to any future success I will have in that role.
