Log of Activities for Practicum FRIT 7738

Date January 14, 2013 Activity Logged into FRIT 7738 on the new GoView, read course syllabus, and printed a copy to refer to as the semester progresses. Looked over course syllabus and made a list of activities I needed to complete along with dates they were due. Made a list of possible field supervisors and technology centers that I could go visit that were close to me; sent emails to two people to ask if they would be my supervisor; posted question to Dr. Downs about sites and supervisor possibilities Confirmed and met with my field supervisor, April Beasley, to conduct the first of my technology center visits/interviews; agreed to serve as a judge at the county technology fair on January 26. During the interview, April enlightened me about the vast amount of technology in our school system. I never really thought about how much our school system has to offer across the county. It is mind-boggling to think that years ago there was nothing and we have grown this far in such a short time. Looked at examples of former students Professional Portfolios; made notes of things I wanted to include in mine and what format I might use. Worked on my Private Reflection Assignment 1 Worked on Portfolio; tried to figure out where and how to submit reflection assignment; posted assignment to an email to Dr. Downs and attached it on the discussion board Submitted Field Supervisor name and technology centers Finally got my assignment 1 to post in the dropbox feature of GoView Served as a judge for the Bulloch County Technology Fair at Julia P. Bryant Elementary School Worked on Portfolio Worked on Portfolio Talked with April Beasley about my UbD assignment; set up meeting for February 5.

Met with April Beasley to go over UbD and other requirements that she has as my supervisor. Received email from April Beasley saying she had not heard back from Dr. Downs about questions she had as my supervisor Sent email to Dr. Downs regarding Aprils questions Visited and interviewed Michelle Rivera at Instructional Resource Center; toured the facility; learned how the center came into existence; saw a class being conducted in one of the labs; learned about chrome books and saw the Digi-lab that houses the chrome books and white board tables; discussed Mrs. Riveras job responsibilities and asked for an organization chart to show who reports to whom Showed co-worker how to create a Smart Notebook File (Winter Break week; working in classroom) Visited and interviewed Virginia Bennett and Lisa Burkhalter at First District RESA in Brooklet, Georgia; learned that funding has been cut several times through the years; shared somewhat confidential information with me about how much money the center operates on now and this made me realize how they are operating on bare bones because salaries for three people have to come out of this; learned that Cedarwood Psycho Education program housed at the old Julia P. Bryant Building falls under their direction for technology; seemed to me that a lot of the responsibilities that RESA once had are now falling into the school systems. This made me wonder if RESA is really necessary and if they will continue for very many more years. Worked on Portfolio; typed up two of my center visits; checked links, revised some pages in website Continued working on Portfolio and started on UbD assignment Observed at IRC Worked on Portfolio and UbD assignment Finished Portfolio went over pages carefully, found typos and corrected, changed some arrangements.
