Module+6+Reflection


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

**Description: **Through the semester course I have completed a pre-competencies verification and have also become very familiar with the ISTE•NETS standards. Both of these have been helpful in designing the field experience plan, however I would argue that they have not been the only items of benefit.

**Impact: **I needed to understand the structure and content of the ISTE•NETS standards in order to correctly align existing artifacts with the standards in the pre-competencies verification. The pre-competencies verification allowed me to gain feedback on strengths and weaknesses regarding my technology skills. The result was that I met all standards but did not exceed any of them. Therefore I need stronger, more detailed experiences in each area. My knowledge of the standards will help me formulate new, or identify existing possibilities for additional opportunities to build my field experiences. However the greatest benefit for identifying potential field experience opportunities are the module reflections that I have been journaling in the wiki.

**Intent: **The journal entries all show existing areas where improvement is needed in my school or life regarding technology. Therefore it automatically adds value the possibility of a field experience and increases my motivation. Additionally, since it is an existing need it also guarantees that I will be pushing myself to experience an opportunity, otherwise I would have already fixed the problem. Therefore I will to use, in conjunction with my knowledge of ISTE•NETS standards and my pre-competencies certification several of my wiki reflection topics to satisfy my field experience opportunities.
