Reflections

Assignment #5: Course Reflections What outcomes had you envisioned for this course? Did you achieve those outcomes? Did the actual course outcomes align with those that you had envisioned? 
 * When I began this course I was hopeful of learning more about technology and the uses of it. A lot of this information presented during the course was unfamiliar to me. I was able to take this information and learn a lot of information and acquire skills that I did not possess before. I feel that I was able to achieve a successful outcome in this program and I believe that the course outcomes were achieved. ||

To the extent that you achieved the outcomes, are they still relevant to the work that you do in your school? Why or why not? 
 * The skills and knowledge that I acquired while I was in this course is relevant to me on a daily basis. I am constantly working on the computer and trying to drum up business at the Foundation and LIT. Plus, my research over the Orangefield school district gave me the opportunity to research the quality of the school that, when I do have children, I will know how to research the school district that I am living in, and if I remain in the Orangefield school district, I can gauge the improvement or decline in the quality of education. ||

What outcomes did you not achieve? What prevented you from achieving them? 
 * In the week 4 assignment, it was hard to get the other students involved. It seemed to me that it was difficult to get quality responses from the other students. Maybe if I was more persistent online or had contact information for the other students in the class, I may have been better equipped for the execution of the assignment. ||

Were you successful in carrying out the course assignments? If not, what prevented or discouraged you? 
 * I believe that I was successful in achieving the course assignments. I worked hard to complete each section and requirement of the assignments and strived to meet the goals asked for. ||

What did you learn from this course…about yourself, your technology and leadership skills, and your attitudes? 
 * I learned a lot about technology that I did not know before, like blogging and the wiki. It was enjoyable to be walked through these and now I may be able to use this newly discovered technology in the future. I was able to learn about myself how much I really did not know about how to access information about websites and other technology. I really could develop my leadership skills more and become a more effective leader in the future. My attitude towards the work was acceptance. I am always willing to learn and develop more information. I feel that a person can never possess too much knowledge. ||
