Standard VEngage in professional growth and leadership
|
Reflection
I recently had the opportunity to present to all 152 Superintendents for the State of MS. In discussed the need to build advocacy within their communities to assist with educational initiatives. Many districts face an uphill battle because many of their brightest students are fleeing to job opportunities in other states. I talked about how jobs in the computer science industry could allow those same students to live within MS while taking advantage of high paying jobs at international companies. For ITD645 I used a tool called Scoop.IT that allows IT professionals to curate articles based around a particular topic. I could easily see how this tool could be used to supplement professional development efforts within a district. I also used a tool called QUIZZIZ to create assessment for my class. This tool could also be used as a formative assessment tool for professional development.

Future Learning Goals
I hope to be able to use the knowledge that I gained from the IT degree to assist Developmental Executives and Account Executives at Apple Inc as they have discussions with Superintendents and Curriculum coordinators looking at integrating technology into their school districts. I plan to explore this NET-S standard more at ISTE with various sessions in 2020.
