Artifact  Reflection

 

This video was developed during EDCL 5339 with Dr. Oliver in the Fall of 2014. The course is developed as an introduction to edcuational leadership. Students discuss relevant issues in edcuation and explore how their life and professional experiences have shaped the type of leader they have come to be.

 

The artifact "AutoEthnography" was a digital story of my life. I discussed my family, personal experieces in edcuational insituations as a student and as an educator. As I developed my digital story I encountered a few technical issues with sound editing. Thanks to my experiences with iMovie editing throughout the coursework in this program, I was able to make revisions and have the video completed to the specifications I strived for. This project also helped me learn a lot about myself as a leader and of what I stive to accomplish as a school administrator. In the process of completing my digitial story I also developed the foundation for my supervisory platform.
