I used to think I had a good grip on the proper use and implementation of technology, now I realize I really do not know much at all. I can utilize the equipment at my disposal, most of the time, but not efficiently and to the extent that actually improves my teaching and the learning by my students. I do feel I am slightly more adept than those around me as my coworkers come to me for help sometimes. I feel my ability to utilize the hardware is a strength, but I need much more training in trouble shooting to solve the common problems that arise. I am very weak in regard to the standards and expectations related to technology integration and education. I am unaware of any plan my district may have, let alone any technology goals my campus may have. I have pursued some online training to learn more about some software programs, but obviously need more. The Technology Applications Inventory showed that I really did not know much, just small portions of information related to individual programs or pieces of equipment. I do not have a general knowledge related to the various programs, file formats, system requirements, platforms, etc. I am able to create a basic document, edit it, save it, and print it. I am capable of utilizing basic email, and now a blog. The State Educational Technology Directors Association Teacher Survey showed how much more I do not know regarding standards related to technology. While I have learned quite a lot of information related to technology over the last few years, It obviously is not enough to be considered proficient by any means. The technology I do use is really only on the surface, to display the math lesson each day, or occasional use of the Classroom Performance System, but rarely does this technology enhance my teaching or the learning by my students, it is more of a novelty that is fun rather than an educational tool. I need to seek out the plan and expectations for technology integration and education in my district and look for more staff development opportunities to augment my own learning. These assessments were a rude awakening of how far I still need to go to truly make the integration of technology into my classroom seamless.
