In this report, you will see the leadership Hierarchy of the technology
center that is the Liberty County School District. Within the report
there is several key artifacts. There is a Flow chart made from Bubbl.us
that shows the actual flow of leadership and power from the
superintendent to the technology specialist. Second, I have a summary
of how I conducted interviews, and otherwise compiled my data. This
summary lists my encounters with Mrs. Mary Ryan the school
curriculum coordinator, and Mrs. Flemming the main person I
shadowed through the duration of my practicum experience. I also
listed several other people that helped me along the way by and
answering questions, and giving me insight when ever I needed. I have
also included a description of the technology center. The technology
center I choose was the Liberty County Performing Arts Center or PAC.
It is an older remodeled satellite campus for nearby colleges, that the
district has turned into a rather remarkable site for professional
developments and technology based learning. Lastly, I included my
evaluation of the technology site. I gave small critiques, and how I felt
about the technology site could grow.
a year, but the data is used create flash course trainings, and other
whole day trainings throughout the year. One huge question that I had
was, How do you become an expert on tools that are so new?. She
always replied with the same answer, Go to training just like you.
This have me the opportunity to see that as an Instructional
Technology Specialist, half the battle is getting trained to be an expert
on whichever tool you are to give instruction on. It is because of this
process and answer that is has become apparent to me that an
Instructional Technology Specialists is nothing more then a technology
teacher for adults.
I also conducted interviews with:
Title 1 director of the district, where I obtained the needs assessment
results.
Instructional Technology Specialist: Melissa Roberts
Administrative Technology Support Personnel: Judd Maxwell
Media Specialist: Kate Gukeisen, Jeff Staggs
Technology Director: Dr. Patti Crane
As stated before, Liberty County is my home district. So I have had
several years worth of observation of how things are done on a district
basis. But as far as school to school, there is not very much to report.
Like I mentioned earlier, we do not have a technology specialist at
our school everyday, but one that comes a few times a week in Mrs.
Fleming. We did though have several trainings at our school that were
performed by instructional technology specialists on several new
learning tools. It was here that I was able to observe the different types
instructional design, and instructional procedure. All of these are listed
in detail in my blog, along with pictures.
