The beauty of this program is that it takes you on a journey of self-discovery, research, and planning that leads to a goal of implementation in your organization. Throughout my journey in Digital Learning and Leading I have ran into many aspects of my project that I have had to reconsider during implementation. When beginning this program, we were asked to come up with a PLAN. During this time, I was able to narrow down my Why and focus in on My Growth Mindset.
Afterwards, we were asked to create a timeline, and research everything there was to know or encounter along the way. During this phase, and three of my courses, I was able to work out many kinks that would have hindered or held up the implementation process of getting Canvas and blended learning opportunities in the classroom. My Action Research, My Plan, and my Alternative Plan were all created during this time. Finally, I was able to build a cohesive website that walked my administrative team step by step through my thought process. My Presentation, My Media Project, and My Blog guided me through this portion. I was able to think out loud, and create something that was visible for my co-workers and students to see. This phase was a breath of relief and weight lifted from my shoulders. Currently, I am at the training phase of my implementation plan. It is going nice and the teachers I am training are impressed with the work that has gone into my website. As of now, they access the information that I have created during my graduate classes if they have questions about blended learning and Canvas. I have learned a tremendous amount of information about myself, my teaching style, and how I intake learning new material. My Blog reflects all my thoughts through this journey and the lesson I have learned along the way. Everything has worked thus far because I was able to catch errors along the way through this program. Each new class gave a new insight to the bigger picture and it was nice to adjust before presenting information to my superiors and co-workers, rather than researching in the middle of implementation. I promoted my implementation plan via email, posters, and seeking out teachers who were interested during on-campus professional development sessions. |
