This week has been a whirlwind, but my practicum semester is now underway. On January 16th, I conducted my first observation with my site supervisor. We took the time to talk about the semester and the various projects that I will be completing and her role. I was also able to observe her teaching a fourth-grade class on the topic of westward expansion and how it affected the slavery discussion.

On January 17th, our school held it's annual spelling bee competition. At the request of our principal, one of the counties two instructional technology came and set up a live stream of the event. I was able to assist in the process of setting up the live stream and had the opportunity to ask a few questions regarding the process and procedures. Mr. Siegmund shared that he has learned that the best method for streaming events is to create a landing page (a google slide or doc) that has a bit.ly link to the youtube live event. He is then able to share the document with those who would like access. In this case, the document was shared with Chase Street Elementary teachers.
In addition to the landing page link, I found his use of a second computer displaying the live stream to be brilliant. This allowed him to monitor the visual and audio components which were connected to a different laptop.
