Module+3+Reflection

Reflection on the week with technology.


 * Decription: ** These past two weeks I have sending out my resume wiki to different schools in the area. I have been waiting to hear back from any of the recipients, but have only gotten one response saying they received the message. I also introduced myself to the Massillon Superintendent, and said I was the one that sent you the resume wiki and her response I found to be a little shocking. She told me they get a lot of those.


 * Impact: **I was a little irritated from her response. I do not think many people send her wikis when applying for a position. I do not think she has even looked at it to be honest. On the other hand, maybe people are doing this. So it got me thinking that maybe I need to change it up. However, I am happy with it now. It's very easy to update, and when I do I don't need to keep sending an updated one out.

I also think that some of the administrators are not familiar with wikis, and may be afraid to use it or how, and because they are busy, they may not take the minute to figure it out. So maybe using a word document is the better way. But I don't feel that way, so I will keep trying. Perhaps if the school had a position open they would be more inclined to look at it.

I also took the time to learn how to use Prezi! I decided that I wanted to make one, and thought that it would be great to make one for the OAPCS conference I will be presenting at in November on the topic of Community Circle. Being that the components of Community Circle embrace teaching for the 21st Century, I thought that the Prezi would be a great addition to my Wiki resume and I embedded the Prezi into the Wiki.

Here's my Prezi: media type="custom" key="7046735"

**Intent:** I intend to continue to send out my wiki to prospective employers. I plan on incorporating some of the technology I have learned about into my wiki to show that I do have some technology skills and may be worthy of hiring! With the time I have been given, not presently working, I plan to use this time to keep up on technology, reading and learning new skills that will help me be the best technology facilitator that I can be.
