When I decided to join this program, my goals were to expand my knowledge in the use of technology in the classroom. I wanted to stay up to date and learn about ways I could provide better access to learning for my students. My goal now is to continue expanding and practicing what I have learned so far as I create a product that can be used by others. I intend to continue implementing what I had practiced in the first and second semester and also looking into other capstone projects from the cohort.
One way that my cohort has supported me has been by giving me feedback during class. As we shared, especially while writing our paper, I was able to use the feedback I received to clarify different questions I had. Constructive feedback has always been helpful, and when the opportunity comes up with the capstone I will try to do the same. What is important to you in terms of group norms? Just like I share with my students, if we are respectful and listen to each other it all works out. We are just like our students, we think and act differently. I’m fortunate to be part of a cohort of teachers that understand how important different opinions are.

I appreciate your comment about wanting to create a "product that can be used by others." I think that will be the difficult part about our capstone project. Can we put it all together in a way that communicates our findings in a way that people see the benefit of and want to try in their own classrooms? And I agree with the benefit of feedback. We are surrounded by some great teachers, and it's a benefit to be able to lean on them when we are looking for ways to improve.

Jose you bring up the key point which in my opinion is also the most important to me, that is constructive feedback. I really enjoy and value other people's opinions and suggestions they might have that will in turn make my project better. I will try my best to give honest and constructive feedback and I hope others will do the same.
