Reflection:
Leadership in education is more than just facilitation. To quote John Quincy Adams, "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, and become more, you are a leader." I think the word action is key here, meaning that a true leader leads by doing. This project was really fun to design and implement. Personally, I was able to grow in my understanding of the facilitating a group of adult learners in an online environment. Creating an interactive powerpoint provide me with the opportunity to keep the participants actively engaged with many interactive features such as video tutorials, multiple choice questions, and links to websites. I was able to use the information gathered from researching educational theorists, such as Pavlov, Piaget, and Skinner and apply those theories in order to design an interactive PowerPoint that was supported their ideals of best practice. Professionally, this creating a presentation on implementing a new type of educational technology (Class Dojo) was a growing process in itself. We were to start simple the first week of designing this PowerPoint, and make adjustments and add content as we learned more on effective design supporting the learner. Students are impacted by such projects in that they are actively participating in their learning and not just listening to a lecture. There are a variety of tools to support the learning needs of a diverse group of students.
