What did I do today?
Today I reviewed my teammates Memo papers. I spent a significant amount of time reading each paper and trying to find ways in which I could assist.
1.) What could I have done differently today that might have impacted my performance for the better?
Today I actually sat back in the meeting and tried to let others answer questions posed by Bill, our meeting team leader today. The questions were in regards to style of policing. I can feel uncomfortable at times when a question is addressed to the group and I don't pipe up quickly and try to answer. I did not do this to not be involved in the team, but I just wanted to mindful that others may want to answer and not have to listen to me talk too much.
2.) How will my "real world" behavior change as a result of what I learned/experienced today?
I don't have to be first to answer or address questions posed to a group of people. Although the first few seconds of silence when a question is asked is awkward for me, I think that taking a step back and actually letting others voice his/her thoughts first may be of some benefit to me in the future. By doing this, it allows me to hear another idea which may actually enhance my thought or opinion.

What did I do today?
Today I worked on my mission, vision, and core values paper a little further. I completed the paper and submitted it for peer review. I also critiqued Bill's paper and assisted in the team meeting by providing ideas to other team members for their papers.
1.) What could I have done differently today that might have impacted my performance for the better?
I could have opened a side document during our meeting so that the team could have jotted down their brainstorming ideas rather than me write them on the side without them seeing the ideas. I think by doing this I would have made sure that I recorded all of the ideas and worded them the way that they were intended. At a future meeting, I will ask how to open the side window in Zoom.
2.) How will my "real world" behavior change as a result of what I learned/experienced today?
The next time that I am tasked with being a scribe where a team list is to be made, I will open a side window in the zoom meeting so that everyone could see the list to ensure that the thoughts and ideas are recorded correctly and as intended.

What did I do today?
Today I worked on my mission, vision, and core values paper. I tried to organize my thoughts and to see if AHPD's mission, vision, and core values are actually in alignment. I also spent some time trying to decipher AHPD's budget as well as expenditures and revenues.
1.) What could I have done differently today that might have impacted my performance for the better?
Today I didn't do a good job with my organization. I completely forgot to do the check in word, until I was reminded at the meeting. I could have prepared a list of things to do yesterday, so that I would have been more organized.
2.) How will my "real world" behavior change as a result of what I learned/experienced today?
Today, I learned how to read our budget and learned where the money comes from and that there is always an overage compared to what we as an agency use. I also will attempt to prepare for the start of the week better, by possibly making a list of things to do, especially in cases where I have had a two week break from Staff and Command.

What did I learn this week?
I learned a better way to search statistical information by using Crimeview Dashboard. I had never used the program before and I know have a username and password, as I had the IT department provide me with access to the program. Prior to this week, I did not have access to the program.
1.) What could I have done differently this week that might have impacted my performance for the better?
I was able to keep up with the assignments as well as the timeline as to when items were due. However, I could have had more peer review done to check my work, as I made an error by providing a team member some bad information that I originally thought was correct.
2.) How will my "real world" behavior change as a result of what I learned/experienced this week?
When I learn about new processes or ways to do technical things, I will look to have them peer reviewed, so that the processes I chose to perform are done correctly. It is not a good feeling to provide others with bad information on how to perform a specific task. It is never fun to waste time and/or struggle with a new process, especially after being sought out by another only to be given the wrong way to do a specific task.

What did I do today?
Today I served as Team Leader for the Gold Team. I facilitated the meeting and had an agenda prepared.
1.) What could I have done differently today that might have impacted my performance for the better?
I think in the roundtable portion of the meeting, I could have called on each member of the team to see if he/she had anything to add to the meeting, rather than just asking, "Does anyone else have anything to add before we conclude the meeting?"
2.) How will my "real world" behavior change as a result of what I learned/experienced today?
We have staff meetings at AHPD and in June of this year, I am tasked with coming up with the agenda, asking the others that are in attendance if he/she has anything to add to the agenda.

What did I do today?
Today I went over my blog and realized that I provided some bad information to Rick. I thought I was telling him the correct way to attach a google document link to his blog, when in fact I was doing it wrong even though I thought I was correct. I learned at our team meeting the correct way to post the google document to the blog and corrected my mistakes with my own blog. I also created our end of the week agenda as I am the team leader for the meeting on 2/8/18.
1.) What could I have done differently today that might have impacted my performance for the better?
I should have had another team member go over my blog so that I would have realized my error prior to explaining the process to Rick. If I would have done that, I would not have given Rick bad information and it would have saved him some time.
2.) How will my "real world" behavior change as a result of what I learned/experienced today?
My behavior will change as a result because I will now verify new technology processes that I learn to ensure that I do them properly.

What did I do today?
Today I spent a little more time working on my known and unknown sheet for my blog project.
I also played around with the blog site trying to find some creative ways to add different icons to my blog. In addition, I spent time thinking about how I was going to present my blog to the class for the class presentation.
1.) What could I have done differently today that might have impacted my performance for the better?
Instead of making a document in word and then cutting and pasting it into a Google document, I should have just created the document in Google. This would have saved me a step.
2.) How will my "real world" behavior change as a result of what I learned/experienced today?
I am trying to become more familiar with the technology that I use, especially the crime searching because I see a real benefit to it. In the past, I relied more on Detectives to provide the information, but now I see it as a much easier task than I originally thought.
