Module+8


 * //Reflection Prompt://** Summarize your learning for this term. How will you use the knowledge you have constructed to improve your use of technology for learning in your class and for your own personal and professional development?

1. **Description**

I have learned that there is a tremendous amount of technology available to teachers and students and that, for the most part, it is not being used effectively or often enough when educating children. The possibilities of infusing technology into the curriculum are endless, but waiting for a PD opportunity to teach me everything puts me no closer to being a 21st century educator than I am right now. The concept of TPACK in my classroom needs to be my top priority as a 21st century educator.

2. **Impact** The impact this has had on me as an educator is amazing. I have so many thoughts and ideas on what I want to accomplish at the building level. While completing the eportfolio plan, I felt both excited and overwhelmed. Excited to share all of this incredible information with my colleagues and overwhelmed by the tremendous amount of commmitment this is going to mean for me.

3. **Intent** I intend to begin at the building level. There are10 teachers in my building. Four of those teachers already have a decent understanding of how to incorporate technology into the curriculum. With the 6 remaining teachers, I intend to provide them with information about TPACK. Then I will help each of them design at least one unit where the curriculum has been infused with technology. After collabortating with all 6 teachers, I will start the process over again. I also iintend to develop numerous Red Book sessions to help teachers learn about productivity tools, copyright laws, clicker systems, and developing school partnerships to enhance learning.
