Artifact #1
One of the more exciting assignments that we were asked to do in EEND681 was a professional development plan from the I.T. perspective. The assignment entailed coming up with a way to train a staff of teachers to use the website, Actively Learn. I really enjoyed this assignment because we were able to collaborate with others in our class to put this plan together. I was fortunate enough to have some amazing teachers in my group and we worked very well together. We were able to set aside a time to meet up in a Google Hangout in order to tweak our plan and to make sure we were all on track to finish our protions of the assignment. The Google Hangout was a godsend because we didn't have to meet awkwardly at a Starbucks or a random school. One of group members was even able to log in though her phone and listen in to the conversation until she was at her computer. We were truly able to collaborate and it was a bonus that we were in comfort of our homes. I am particularly proud of how this plan came together and the final product. I feel that it looks professional and any teacher would really enjoy coming to our PD!

Artifact #2
One of our first assignments was to create an organizational readiness assessment for our district. I took the ISTE Standards and put them into a checklist that I then used to assess the implementation of each standard. In my report, I stated that my district is at an accomplished level of implementation for each standard. I felt that this assignment helped me to have a better understand of the ISTE Standards and how they should be implemented throughout the district. When I actually used the rubric to assess my district it was difficult for me to know exactly where we fall with each standard. I do feel that my district does a nice job with supporting us with all of the new tech tools that have been introduced. However, we need new/more leadership opportunities to help more teachers feel connected to the process of implementation rather than shy away from it.
