Module+6

The standards for the pre competency verification helped me design my Field Experience Plan because in order to show that I was competent in each standard, I had to carefully evaluate what the standard required and figure out how I could demonstrate that I had some skill for that standard. I had to combine what I knew and what I have already done/accomplished in my classroom with technology and allign that with the standards.

Completing the Pre-Competency Verification made me realize that there are areas that I need to work on in the standards in order to demonstrate my strengths for each one. For example standard VI-Social, Ethical, and Human Issues where the "educational technology facilitators understand the social, ethical, legal, and himan issues surrounding the use of technology in PK-12 schools and assist teachers in applying that understanding in their practice", after completing the Pre-Comp Verification, I realized that it was a stretch for me to show any competency. After evaluating what this standard requires I am now able to plan ways to show that I can show my knowledge for this standard.
 * __Impact__**

My intention for my Field Experience plan is to keep the standards llist on my desk at home and at school, and as I am designing lessons and learning new ideas I can refer to the standards and make notes as to how I can use what I am planning in order to create an artifact. Also, I am certain that many of the teachers in my building are interested in learning new ways to effectively teach and integrate technology. The aministrators in my building are feel very strongly aboout the "expert teachers" that we have in our building, teach the other staff members how to incorporate what they are using that work for them in their classrooms. Knowing this I am able to plan Staff Development times where I can demonstrate ideas that I come up with and tools that I learn about to my colleagues.
