• What outcomes had you envisioned for this course? Did you achieve those outcomes? Did the actual course outcomes align with those that you envisioned?
Within this course, I have been able to define and resolve many of the concepts and issues that I deal with everyday as a district Instructional Technologist. It has helped me solidify and learn more information about topics such as copyright, intellectual property and cyber safety. I envisioned learning more about the administrators point of view of technology. Working in the area has given me great benefits and familiarity with the topics covered. However, from the perspective of an administrator, technology can be a little frightening with the capabilities that students have now. Protection of the students is essential but it must be balanced with the freedom to create and use the technological advances that we have. Being a digital immigrant, I feel that I still do not fully understand the students use of technology. They function with it completely not just for certain things. The outcomes aligned with some of my thoughts that I envisioned. The technology action plan was much more challenging than I thought it to be. Administrators have a great deal to initiate, observe and clarify. According to Davidson (2005), “But in the final analysis, it is the administrator who bears responsibility for the actions of stakeholders in all roles of the education environment.”
