Internship Blog
In ET-660 I conducted professional development sessions for my internship. I taught my coworkers about a technology tool called Seesaw. This internship consisted of four learning sessions. After each session I had my coworkers complete a self reflection using google form. I used that information to plan the next session and I also reflected on my teaching and the obstacles that I faced during that time. I also reflected on the positive teaching moments.
