After reviewing the NET Standards I felt I had a lot to learn before becoming a teacher. When I took the UNI survey I realized that I have the knowledge of basic technology but whether I put it to use it another story. So do you want the bad news or the good news first? Alright let's save the good for last. First of all when something goes wrong with a computer I am probably the last person you want to ask to help you fix it. Also while I understand that their are certain legalities and copy right, I am not sure I would be able to explain in to my students. Although I probably have many more weaknesses lets move on to my strengthens. Now that I am on the road to becoming a teacher, I have started to think like a teacher. Most of the technology I have had experience with and could teach. I even started to reflect how this piece of technology can better my classroom.
So I made some goals to make my weaknesses become strengthens. First of all I might need to take more technologies classes, or when something is not working to just take a breath and try again. I need to be a good example for my students. Second is to refresh my mind of skills I have learned in the past. For example how could I incorporate a spreadsheet in the classroom? Finally learn the legalities of using technology in the classroom.
On uen the offer a wide variety of workshops you can take to help you with your technology skills. I would like to take the ITC (intergating technology and curriculum) workshop. It is a 3 day course to teach k-12 educators tools they can use in class. I would also like to take the Web Academy training. It is a 6 day course on web design.
