Standard 1.1 Shared Vision
Candidates facilitate the development and implementation of a shared vision for the use of technology in teaching, learning, and leadership.(PSC 1.1/ISTE 1a)
Artifact: Vision Statement
Reflection:
The artifact that best demonstrates my mastery of this standard is my shared vision statement that I wrote in ITEC 7410. This artifact is a reflection of the use of technology that I hope to see in my school in the next 3-5 years. Within the artifact is my technology vision and scenarios of how technology use will look at Marietta High.
My statement demonstrates mastery of this standard in that it illustrates my ability to facilitate the development and implementation of a shared vision. In my vision I explain the use of technology in my school to both create and support learning for all stakeholders. I also write of specific examples of students using technology such as Khan Academy to create new learning and blogging about learning that they are making in order to develop their higher order thinking skills. I give examples of teachers using technology to broaden their personal learning networks for continued professional development. And I write about Principals and Administrators using technology for communication and collaboration with teachers.
In completing this artifact I learned that a shared instructional technology vision is essential to creating a shared instructional technology plan. In order to encourage appropriate use of technology for instruction in school one must start with these two items. If I could have done anything different, I would have done two things: 1) I would have spoken with others in this field at Marietta City Schools to see what their thoughts about a shared technology vision plan is and 2) I would team up with a group of people to write a document this important to make sure that nothing is left out.
Creating a technology shared vision impacts the entire school: students, teachers, administrators, and parents. The impact of it can be seen in the use of technology by all stakeholders to create, share, and demonstrate learning. The success of the impact of a shared technology vision plan can only be measured by the skills students leave our school with and the preparation this gives them for either college or a career readiness.
