Individuals will approach their study in various ways but the outcomes of each will develop from these notions:
Procedures and Expectations:
Each student will be expected to reflect upon the ideas outlined in the paragraphs above. An initial communication with your instructor should be held in order to outline and develop an acceptable project or series of activities to be completed. (This may be done in whatever way is most convenient, such as phone, email, etc.) The student will then formally submit an Internship Proposal Form detailing internship activities.
* Save Acrobat Internship Proposal Form and submit via AsULearn.
In addition, Interns will be utilizing Blogger.com to communicate and update ongoing progress. Interns are expecting to provide weekly/bi-weekly updates on activities, accomplishments and challenges. Any communication are considered considered sensitive and private. Only ITC faculty will have access to view or comment on blogs. Upon approval of your proposal by the instructor, the student may proceed with internship activities.
Presentations of Project:
Upon completion of the project, each student will coordinate with the instructor an acceptable date, time and method for demonstrating the accomplishment of the objectives set forth in the proposal, the lessons learned and the implications for practice.
Summary Evaluation Paper:
Compose a 2 or 3 page executive reflection on the goals, achievements, successes and disappointments experienced in your internship projects. Include colleagues and stakeholders with whom you worked, the influences that you notice, the results that you see or expect as a part of your internship and other aspects deemed important to you as you. Please email this summary to your internship instructor.
NETS T Reflection:
In ITC 5220, you completed a self-assessment based upon the ISTE NETS Standards. Write a summary of your progress in relation to those standards as you complete the program.
The instructor will deem the project Satisfactory (S) or Unsatisfactory (U) and so mark at the end of the grading period. In unusual circumstances and at the discretion of the instructor, a student may be given an Incomplete (I). This work would be completed during the following semester.
