Module+8+Reflection

=__//**Module 8 Reflection** //__= //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? **

**Description:** During module 8, I reflected upon all the topics that I explored over the semester: ISTE standards, TPACK framework, ethical and legal issues with technology, 21st century skills, productivity tools, online teaching and learning, and the technology facilitator role. My goals for the future include integrating these topics in to my daily classroom instruction. Eventually, I would like to be a technology director within a school building or district where I will use my credentials, experience, and continual interest in technology to facilitate successful technology integration.

**Impact:** During this module I learned how to improve the use of technology in my classroom. The TPACK framework was a great start to figuring out how to correctly implement technology, which is where I was lacking before beginning the IT master's program. Becoming more familiar with 21st century skills was also a great area of interest to me, especially since it is such a large focus in our schools, communities, and even globally.

**Intent:** As a result of what I learned this module, I will continue to grow professionally by staying involved in the world of technology. I have joined professional associations (ISTE), teacher blogs, and electronic journals. I will continue to learn throughout my master's program, and I will eventually be a very competent, reliable, and knowledgeable technology facilitator.
