You are not
required to respond to any peers for this discussion. If you would like to,
please feel free to engage with your peers one last time.

DQ2 Reflection

Each week
you will engage in weekly check-ins. These check-ins will be brief (2–5
minutes) video or audio recordings in which you discuss your experiences and
progress for the week. These should be used to update your peers on experiences
of note that occurred during your practicum time and any relevant developments
with regard to your capstone project. The goal of these check-ins is to allow you
to connect with your peers on a more personal level and build a more vibrant learner
community in the course.

If you are
recording a video for your check-in, be sure that you are recording video and
audio with your program of choice.

If you are
recording a video using Adobe Connect, you will post the link to your recording
in your discussion post, in addition to your transcript and notes (see below).

If you are
recording a video for your check-in using Kaltura, follow the instructions in
the Using Kaltura document linked in the Resources. It will cover how to post
your video directly it into the discussion area in addition to your transcript
and notes (see below).

If you are
recording audio via PowerPoint, please make your submission one or more slides
with the reflection questions below included on the slides. Please make sure
you also include detailed notes or a transcript (see below). You will upload
your PowerPoint file as an attachment to your discussion post.

You may use
a different program or piece of technology, provided you can still create
videos and record audio for your initial discussion posts. You may wish to
check with your instructor before attempting to use a different program or
piece of technology

In your
reflection, please discuss your responses to the questions below:

How is your
practicum experience going?

What is
going well in your field experience?

What are
the challenges you are encountering?

Was there
anything that you found particularly exciting or challenging that happened?

Are you
making progress on your capstone project?

What
aspects of the project are going well?

What
aspects of the project are you finding the most challenging?

What
excites you about your project?

Note: As a
professional best practice, and to make your discussion posts as accessible as
possible, be prepared to include a text alternative for your recorded audio by
providing a brief transcript or detailed notes with each discussion post. (This
practice is also helpful to ensure that you are recording the words that you
actually wish to say.) If you are using PowerPoint, your notes or transcription
can be included in the notes area of your slides. If you are recording a video,
please post your notes or transcript in the body of the discussion post. If you
require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to
participate in this activity, please contact Disability Services to request
accommodations.

Additional
note: If for some reason you experience technical difficulties that make it
impossible to record a reflection, you may post a written reflection that is of
professional and academic quality.
