The last two weeks I have been reading, analyzing, and reviewing technology articles to try to better my classroom environment through my masters journey. I decided to read the two weeks of articles early and then take the two assessments. As I read over my responses of the two assesments, SETDA and technology applications inventory, I am realizing that I have a lot of work to do. These two assessments specified my strengths and weaknesses in technology. . It also gave me an idea of what I need to work on in the future and how my district takes on technology.
My strengths are in the foundations of technology. Through these assessments, I am finding that I have a strong basis to start from. I am proficient in a variety of technology of formats in planning, creating and editing to integrate those in my environment. I found that my strongest asset in technology is my willingness to incorporate, collaborate, and design technology in my classroom. I feel that the future is in technology and for our students to be successful, I have to establish a technology environment.
The other strength I have is an extremely understanding district that is very aggressive on staying up to date in technology. They set up meaningful Professional Developments geared toward educating our teachers on technologies. They give us time to collaborate, plan, and research to incorporate the most up to date technological innovations for the classroom
My weaknesses are those of implementing graphics and other formats for the classroom. I feel that I only know the tip of the ice berg and there is so much more. I am also weak in the terminology of technology. Another weakness is my search for reliable and appropriate sites to validate information on the Web. Other technology that tracks trends, set timelines, and reviews progress, I have not battled yet.
By completing and reviewing the two assessments, SETDA and TAI, puts my strenghs and weaknesses in technology in a more meaningful way. I can now start comparing the two and focus on my upcoming Professional Developments.
