"Strengths & Weaknesses"

My strengths and weaknesses according to the UNI survey and NET Standards consist of the following.
Strengths:
1-Operate a multimedia computer system, including installing software, accessing programs or files, saving and deleting files, and organizing folders,
2-Apply technology to develop students' higher order skills and creativity.
3-I have designed authentic learning activities for diverse learners to teach my studnets how to publish their projects on the Web.
Weaknesses:
1-use technology resources to collect and analyze data, interpret results, and communicate findings to improve instructional practice and maximize student learning.
2- I am aware of video conferencing but have had limited involvement in an interactive session using video conferencing.
3-I understand basic computer terminology when it is used in classes.

Goals which I have set for myself are to use technology for grading and to analyze this data to know what our classroom percentage is. Also I can incorporate collecting data and analyzing it through a science project. I also think that video conferencing might be a factor for me which I learn in my personal life. When family or my husband goes out of town maybe try that until I am more comfortable and then teach a lesson using video conferencing. I will use the gmail tutorial video conferencing to learn more. A goal to learning computer technology is to study it. Understand what the words mean and when talking about computers use the specific terminology instead of the black thing in front of you. Use that to type your words. Instead use the word keyboard. There is a website avaliable that has a video in which you can watch to understand what parts of the computer are.

By using these tutorials, websites, and videos I will become a better teacher. I can explain to my students how to complete a project using video conferencing. This will also help me as a professional because I will constantly be learning and hopefully coming up with new ways to use technology inside of my classroom. These tutorials let me know that I can learn anything about technology through the internet, word of mouth or conferences.
