**March Activity Log Reflections**

As I started learning about all the hours and different activities we had to do to prepare for the internship course I was apprehensive and overwhelmed over the amount of time and effort required to complete our masters program. As I prepared to start on the activities, I asked our school principal, Isaac Rodriguez to be my mentor, and he accepted but asked if we could have our district Technology Director, Salvador Huerta as the administrator that would supervise the activities. At first I found it difficult to find sufficient time to start the activities, our first meeting was on March 9 and we discussed several different activities that would prepare me for the experience of a technology facilitator. The first activity we decided to initiate was a presentation and training for the teachers at our campus in starting their professional development on demand course and assisting with any questions or problems they may have as they progress through the courses. This addressed standards I.A., I.B., V.A. and V.C., these standards addressed knowledge, skills, and understanding of the concepts related to technology, continual growth in technology knowledge and skills to stay abreast of current technology, the use of technology for professional development and lifelong learning, and to apply technology to increase productivity, (Williamson, J. and Redish, T., 2009). Throughout the month I took several tutorials and courses in preparation for the upcoming teachers training sessions. The next activity started on in March 25, this was a district wide meeting that focused on the strategic planning for the next five to ten years in relations to technology for curriculum and managerial purposes. The standards addressed were VII.B., and VIII.D., which state, “Follow procedures and guidelines used in planning and purchasing technology resources.” and “Lead in the development and evaluation of district technology planning and implementation.” Williamson, J. and Redish, T., (2009). We focused on coming up with several action plan ideas that addressed technology and expressed the district’s mission and objectives for the future.  **References: ** Williamson, J. & Redish, T.
