What outcomes had you envisioned for this course? Did you achieve those outcomes? Did the actual course outcomes align with those that you envisioned?
For this course, I had envisioned something that I think was somewhat different than I had expected originally. Now, having not a clue as to what technology applications an Administrator needs to be able to control, my assumptions were purely based on my own thoughts as to what and how an Administrator would use technology. Having stated that, I thought the course was going to be more focused on how Administrators could use current technologies in staff development or staff meetings as well as how to use current technology to improve systems that are currently in place in whatever particular school you are assigned to. Of course, this was not the focus of the class I came to find out quite quickly.
Our course focused, from my point of view, on the Technology TEKS, applications from using those technology TEKS, as well as how current classroom teachers can utilize technology (such as blogging) in the classroom. This is not a bad thing, however, I honestly do not see how all of what was studied is truly applicable at an Elementary campus. Seeing as how I am currently at an Elementary campus, my focus was to look at things from that particular point of view. In light of how I was looking at things, from my standpoint, the class did not align with what I had originally thought it was going to be.
