Technology Professional Interview Assignment

The goal of this assignment is for you to gain a sense of ‘a day in the life of’ You- in your future career as a technology professional Your task is to locate a district or school technology professional (e.g. technology coach, technology specialist or technology coordinator) and interview this individual. You will need to spend some time with this individual over the course of an entire day to determine firsthand the major tasks this person does (Spending a whole day may be impossible: see note at the end, below.)

Your goal is to find out what this individual's major responsibilities are and to gain a sense of what the technology professional does. The questions you ask should be specific to tech professionals and not to the specific one you are interviewing. E.g. asking what they are going to do about the broken computers in the lab is specific to your concerns, not the overall tasks of tech professionals.

In developing your questions, review the ISTE Program Standards for Preparation of Technology Coach Standards. Use the interview to help you show your mastery of the concepts in the standards. Additionally, as background, review the technology plan of the school or district. If not possible, please explain why.

Your deliverable will be an essay that analyzes your findings and evaluates the implications for your own career. Be sure to include quotations from your interviewee as support for your conclusions, and bring in your readings where appropriate. Please do NOT provide a transcript of the interview.

Note: An objective of EDTC 630 is to prepare students for technology leadership through experiences in a school setting. Shadowing a tech professional would be GREAT, but it is not always feasible - especially if you are supposed to be teaching all day. Do the best you can. Interview is required, but shadowing is optional.

This assignment allows students to develop exam study guides, while also helping classmates. Students have been divided into groups (approximately 4 people in each group). To work with your group, and post the two required postings, go to the Blackboard course website and choose “My Groups” from the left side menu. Click on the group, then, under “Group Tools” click “Group Discussion Board”. For further instructions regarding how to use/post to the discussion board, I have attached instructions to this assignment. Students may only consult, and cite, the textbook, the assigned supplemental readings/video, and the narrated lectures for this assignment.    Part 1: The first part of this assignment is to post to your GROUP DISCUSSION BOARD (not the class discussion board), an open-ended question (requiring more than a yes or no answer) from the chapter you have been assigned. Do not post an answer; just a question. To post, click on the Student Study Guide assignment in your group disc

You now need to begin to reflect on the next goal, then medium, and long-term goals. I did not complete my final degree until well into my 50's. And that is fine, I loved my health care career. I was eager to care for patients and did not leave direct patient care for many decades. I did know the time would come to do so however, and began to earn the college degrees I would need at the proper time. This is what is meant by managing your career. This is an entry level program. It is designed to assist you in getting your "foot in the door" where you can learn valuable clinical skills. A common and important degree is the Bachelor of Health Information Management (BS-HIM).
