5. Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership

It is very important for us as teachers to be able to reflect on our technological use. We have a lot at stake when we teach and we want to make sure the decisions we do make are important. I think that all decisions need thought and reflection behind them and with teachers and technology we are looking at a new idea. With our newer teachers that may have more technological understanding not getting jobs in this market, it becomes important for those with technological influence to spread the idea around the school to all their peers, in hopes that their peers will not only try it out but make an effort to get to know and get education on its use.

What Makes a Good Design (5a)

This is a design portfolio on what makes good signs and posters for designs. I look at and annotate good and bad examples of many different design elements.

Classroom Thought Journal (5a, b, c, d)

A twenty page journal about my thoughts through my readings about education. I am very proud of and have referred back to this thought journal more than anything. I have grown fond of 'at the moment reflection' and then reflecting on that reflection later. I think it is a valuable tool and in this age of fast and easy reflection is commonly missed.
