Plan for the entire activity to take 25-30 minutes.
Overview
As a technology leader of your school, reflection is of the essence during the workshop experience. There will be plenty of opportunities to reflect upon your own learning and teaching. Please use this online journal to take notes, write down “a-ha” moments, and to reflect on the workshop experience as a whole.
Directions
Part 1: Individual Reflection (10 minutes)
For the next 10 minutes, take a moment to reflect on the workshop thus far. This Workshop Journal will be an opportunity for you to reflect on “a-ha” moments and on your time spent in the workshop. Remember, you will be training your staff on what you learn during these sessions. What worked for you? As a tech leader, what can you share with your colleagues now? What would you like to remember to include in the pre-school training? What ideas will you use for your school? Make sure you date it at the top.
