Bootcamp Reflection

I spent 6 service hours at Lindon Elementary.
I learned that the student's tech skills were much higher than expected, even though most of the time they were playing games on line. I feel that this was because of the lack of discipline on the teacher’s part. I also feel that some of the information that the teacher was going over was a little too difficult for some of the student which was not in their zone of proximal development. I learned that I am incompetent with many tech programs and that I have a lot to learn about programming websites. I do feel that if I was taught how to program a website than I would have been able to help and assist the student's more, but I mostly felt useless. One of the goals that I will work on in the summer is to familiarize myself with the programming a website. I will do this by researching and if there are any workshops that teach how to program a website I could attend them to learn more. Another goal that I have is to become more confident in the programs that I have learned especially with using iMovie. I have been able to create a podcast and a digital story but my confidence in my abilities is not as high as I would like it to be able to teach my future students. To increase my confidence throughout the summer I will simply create more podcasts and or digital stories to become more familiar and successful with the program.
