Powerful Learning, Powerful Leadership

     During this practicum, I continue to research and ask questions of professionals regarding the subject of mental health.

   The focus is on the main mission which is mental health awareness. What does that look like? Who are we targeting and how should we educate them?

    An outreach through social media was started to begin to bring the childhood traumas to the forefront of the Vietnamese community's mind? Now what? This is the question the organization is asking itself and I have answered. We teach by using the website as a platform to help educate those who visit the site.

    We begin by assessing what the person knows in regards to mental health and offering them immediate feedback on the question so that the learner can see the statistics or information on that topic.

    The test assesses the learner's knowledge as well as offer the learner immediate feedback of  information regarding mental health to help them to understand the importance of mental health for them and their youths.

    The personalization of the training is in regards to what the learner is trying to research or access through our site. Not all mental health inquiries or health are the same. The learner can search for self care advise or signs of anxiety and how to cope it the anxiety and so on.

    The difficulty of this task is the translation form English to Vietnamese because not all mental health vocabulary words have a Vietnamese equivalent word we can use. As a leader in powerful learning and leadership, I am searching for ways to meet this task as I continue this practicum.

    This is true in any language I think, I know a lot term in Russian that do not exist in English and vice versa. It really does take a away a chunk of meaning from a conversation. And when you work on such important topic as mental health, time shade of meaning could make a huge difference.

Powerful Learning, Powerful Leadership: Less is More

 When creating a technology plan as a leader, especially for the very first time, our excitement can have us go over board with our plans to help educators and learners. Many of whom do not have much time to read a long instructional guide for a new software program or new device. After reviewing chapter 10 of George Cuoros book The Innovator's Mindset  and listening to Dan Pink's mindset, I find myself reviewing my plans as a technology leader to make sure that the plans provide the information required in a simple form for all educator's and learner's.  Mental Health is a broad subject and being able to narrow down which subject create a training for can be difficult. I am narrowing my choices for these lessons by conferring with mental health experts to find out which topic would be most beneficial to parents and the young adults searching for information on mental health. Keeping the information to what needs to be taught and offering exercises or chances for the ed...

Technology Facilitator

  Here is my version of Bill Ferriter Style As I reviewed what a technology facilitator should look like, I thought about the idea of innovation. Innovation is the creation of a new thought or machine to fulfill a need or want. Although innovation does not come from repeating the same process, innovation can appear while doing the process repetitively.  Like the inventor of the jigsaw who was looking for a better way of sawing wood.  For technology facilitator, innovation comes from studying the process and searching for ways to improve or develop another effective way of communicating the same information with the use of technology.  In the above image, I described how the facilitator works and who or what is helped by their actions.  The facilitators' job is to listen to their audience. In this case, the audience are administrators, teachers, and students. After which they will evaluate the process to see where improvements can be made. Then discuss or report ...
