Reflecting: Progress with Campus-Supervised Internship Activties

Based upon what I wrote earlier this year, I can see that I will have to make some major changes to my plan due to my principal changing my role for this upcoming school year. I will be serving dual roles for the 2013-2014 school year. I will be teaching my (3) algebra classes as well as serving as a Instructional Technology Specialist. I will also be participating in the Career Pathways Pilot program at my school so, there will be certain things that are on my supervised internship plans that will change because of this new role. The areas that are highlighted yellow will be replaced with new activities that are in red. This will satisfy my new role for the upcoming school year or activities that I end up doing that are technological related to my course load. I will replace the highlighted sections at a later date. Here are the proposed areas that will be replaced with the following activities:
1. Professional Development that I will provide On and Off Campus
2. Burbank Middle School Blog that is housed on School Website
3. In-Services that I attend for the Career Pathway Pilot Program
4. Modeling lessons that are enriched with technological tools for Staff/Teachers/Students
5. Planning Technology Professional Development for Burbank Middle School

So far I have completed 20 hours of my 150. So that leaves me with 130 hours left, which I will quickly get within the next 4 months or so. With all the prep work for my role is going to require a lot of man hours. I am excited about my new position but, I know it's going to be a lot of work. I have learned many things, such as working more efficiently with the tools that I have. Being able to work in a group and to focus on everyone strengths so, that the group is successful. Also to stick to the deadline and to always be flexible. I am starting to learn to be more comfortable in presenting in front of people now that I am having to do presentations and in-services on using technological tools in the classroom. The different media tools that we have used in the Media class proved to be beneficial and I plan on using what I have learned to teach others at my school through the professional development pieces that I am creating for Burbank Middle School.

Some things that I would like to note of my Internship Activities are the following:
1. Conflict Resolution with Students on Bullying (30 minutes)
2. 12/19/2012 Created a Google Document for Career Day for the School (1 hour)
3. 5/7/2013 Created a Attire Flyer for Graduation and Dance for the whole 8th Grade Department
(1 hour)
4. 6/14/2013 Presenter for the Burbank Middle School Leadership Conference (3 hours includes prep time)
5. 6/20/2013 Presenter for (2) sessions at the Leadership Conference for Principals at the Reliant Center ( 6 hours and 30 in) Entitled: So I Have a Computer, Smart Phone, and iPad-Now What? Using Technology to Increase Rigor and Engagement Across all Content Area
