I recently completed two technology assessments. After taking the two assessments, I believe that I am above average with my technology skills.
The fist assessment was the Technology Applications Inventory, which consisted of four domains: Foundations, Information Acquisition, Solving Problems, and Communications. The domain that I scored the lowest in was Solving Problems with technology. I believe that being a Physical Education teacher hinders my ability to allow students to use technology in the classroom. However, I would love to have the funds and resources to improve in this area. I scored the best in the Foundations of technology, and I agree that my base knowledge of technology is above average.
The second assessment was the SEDTA teacher survey, which is a survey that asked questions to determine my technology use, the availability of technology at my school, and local policies related to technology. After taking this survey I realize that my school performs better than average with the use of technology. I also learned that I do not use technology in the classroom as much as I should.
My strength as a leader using technology is my basic knowledge of technology. I recently graduated from college and used technology extensively during my time there. I also try and keep up with new software and technology as it comes out in my personal life. My biggest weakness with technology is knowing the standards for use of technology in education.
Overall, I agree with these two assessments and they have helped me to determine that I must use more technology in my classroom, even though it is difficult to do so in Physical Education.
