Throughout the ITEC 8500 course, I realized that writing APA style papers and conducting research takes more time than I remembered. I have my writing and research because of this course. I have discovered technology trends that I was not familiar with in the education field while researching information. The research conducted for this course has shaped my vision in the area of technology in our schools. It seems to be a necessity for our students to have access to technology tools in order for us to prepare them for the workforce of the future. While researching information for my capstone project, I realized the importance of students bringing their own technology to schools that are limited with technology resources, and I have discovered many ways to make it work within the classroom.
My goal for this program is to become a technology leader not only in my school, but in my district. This course has taught me the value of research and how to analysis it. Based on the research completed, it prepares me for leading my school and district in the latest technology trends and research. It has also helped me toward my goals for this program by giving me the tools needed to apply for technology coaching jobs as they become available. Knowing my districts current situation with technology coaches, I am better prepared to perform wonderfully on an interview if the opportunity presents itself, based on the research conducted during this course, and the new information learned.
