Kayla Smith is proposing an internship that will take place at Ravenel Elementary School or within the School District of Oconee County. She is unsure of her mentor but lists potential options like Greg Sullivan and district personnel. For her project, Kayla is considering developing SmartBoard lessons for math or science, incorporating digital cameras and PhotoStory, creating a workshop on Web 2.0 tools, or an interactive health curriculum using the SmartBoard.

Internship Proposal
Location of Internship:
My internship will take place in an educational setting, either in a second grade
classroom, an after-school care environment, or a professional development workshop
for the faculty and staff at the school/district where I work. Currently, I am employed at
Ravenel Elementary School through the School District of Oconee County and I would
be interested in completing my internship within these entities.
Mentor:
I am unsure of who my mentor may be for this internship. Greg Sullivan, a teacher at
my school, is responsible for the educational technology related issues and could be a
possible adviser. In addition, there are personnel in the district, such as Joe Rukat, the
Director of Technology, Cheryl Bennefield or Edwin Jarrell, who are both Technology
Specialists that could also be potential mentors. However, I do now know the
technology professionals that work for the district and would have to contact them to
determine if they would be able to help me with this internship.
Possible Project for Internship:
I am not exactly sure of the topic for my internship. Currently, I am teaching in a second
grade classroom as a long-term substitute and would be interested in developing
SmartBoard lessons to accompany a unit either in Math or Science.
Some other ideas that I am contemplating for my internship (any suggestions or help
would be greatly appreciated):
 Incorporating digital cameras into the classroom while teaching the
students about Microsoft PhotoStory.
 Developing a professional development workshop on free Web 2.0 tools
for elementary teachers.
 Implementing a health curriculum into my second grade classroom or the
after-school care environment through interactive SmartBoard lessons.
