Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths -- After looking over the NETS the one strength that stood out to be was to be able to identify and locate technology resources and evaluate them for accuracy and suitability. I took a class last spring semester where I was able to learn more about this skill and get lots of practice. I would feel confident in helping my students in looking up resources. In the UNI section one of my strengths was in number 11 in the Apprentice section where I know how to use email and and check it on a regular basis and organize them into folders. This is important skill to have and is pretty much required in today's working society.

Weaknesses -- As for a weakness in the NETS standards I noticed that I need to work on: using technology resources to collect and analyze data, interpret results, and communicate findings to improve instructional practice and maximize student learning. In the UNI survey one of my weaknesses is number 18. I have trouble completing spreadsheets and figuring out what information goes where. I know it is important, but also seems very tedious.

Since I was unable to access the videos and podcasts online I was not able to view these. But I feel like they probably were important and I would like to go back and look over these for ideas in the future. I know that as a teacher that I need to be able to complete and show my knowledge in technology matters. It will be fun to see what the future brings.
