Reflection:
This artifact is the blog from my program. I began the blog in ITEC 7410 and have blogged reflectively throughout my Master’s Degree program.
This artifact is really a collection of artifacts that have been gathered over the course of my program. My blog gave me the opportunity to regularly evaluate and reflect on my professional practice and dispositions. I have come to thoroughly enjoy and depend on this time of reflection. Reflecting and evaluating on my progress helps me remember what I have learned and gives me the time to get my thoughts out about how I feel about how a particular lesson or experience went. I enjoy going back later and reading those reflections and reliving those experiences.
I really enjoyed writing the blog. I had never blogged prior to this. I see so many applicable uses for blogging in the classroom now. My students really enjoy blogging now and ask to post to it. My students really like knowing that someone besides me will be reading their work. It adds an element of reality to it. I had this same feeling as they do. Just knowing that anyone who wants to look at my blog can. I strived to do my best work each week. My students do the same. This was an interesting dynamic for me. Learning how to blog better, while blogging with my students. It has really changed the face of my classroom. In terms of doing something different, each time I reflect I try to get better at it, I try to be more specific and give more detail; doing so gives me more clarity later.
This artifact has impacted student learning, school improvement, and faculty development. Since I have began reflecting, it has made me into a better educator. The impact of this artifact can be assessed through all of the positive changes that I have have made as a result of reflection in each of these areas.
