Completing the Educational Technology Skills Inventory Survey gave an accurate description of myself as a technology user.
Technology Operations and Concepts
This section summarized me accurately. I am generally comfortable using computers on a day-to-day basis. I am able to solve routine technical problems and make informed choices about the use of a computer. I am comfortable using technology for professional purposes. I like to explore different programs and operating systems to see what they offer. This has lead me to find edubuntu, which has a variety of programs available on it to help teachers in the classroom without costing a penny. I am very interested in the use of freeware and seek out different opportunities to use it and introduce other users to it. I think technology is very important because it makes life simpler.
Planning and Designing Learning Environments
This section describes me fairly accurately as well. I use technology to collate, analyze and present my research findings and I try out available hardware and software for educational purposes, while selecting education-specific resources that meet my needs. I have chosen specific computer programs for my students to use when learning new math skills and I am not afraid to find appropriate websites for my students to explore when studying of playing games.
Teaching, Learning and the Curriculum
Once again, I found that this section of the summary was also accurate. I do use technology to help increase my productivity, creativity and learning. I also try to get my students to use technology for the same purposes. I use technology to expand my own learning and incorporate it into my lessons for my students to benefit from as well. When I prepare or present lessons I use technology to simplify the process. I need to seek out more on line and tech related processes to support problem solving and decision making to maximize my learning. I think technology is an integral part of the education system today and students need constant exposure to it.
Assessment and Evaluation
I use technology for a verity of reasons such as to collect information, evaluate the information I collect and locate where information can be found. I regularly seek out where new information resources and technological innovations which would be appropriate for the use in the classroom or during lesson planning. I need to aim to research and evaluate the electronic sources of information that I use more frequently then I do so now. I need to evaluate the success of technology in my classroom and make sure that students are actively progressing while suing technology. I need to encourage my students to seek out new opportunities for technology in my classroom and provide them with encouragement and reliable information to make informed decisions. I should help students be able to determine and critique which sources of information and which pieces of technology would best be suited to their needs.
Productivity and Professional Practise
I use many technology based resources and tools to help me increase productivity. I must aim to collaborate in constructing technology enhanced models, publications and creative works. I need to have a positive attitude when promoting technology for life-long learning. I must also learn to differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate resources for my students. By increasing my knowledge of technology in the professional setting I will be able to participate in technology-based professional collaborations as part of my own personal growth.
Social, Ethical, Legal, and Human Issues
When working with technology is it always best to be fair and ethical in our use of technology's resources. In the classroom I should show awareness of diversity, health, safely and security issues that surround use when using technology. As a teacher I would emphasis how dangerous the use of technology can be and how students must use it with caution by have a strong understanding of how information can affect their privacy and anonymity. As I teacher I will manage a classroom that has a strong sense of diversity and allow all students with the same access to resources. I will model the safe use of technology. I will promote fair and interactive experiences for my students in the "global village" of the Internet. My students will have a Strong sense of morals when it comes to the use of technology.
Overall this summary was accurate in describing me. I think technology is an integral part of the classroom today and hope to learn more about it's use in the classroom. I hope to leave this course with a strong sense of the use of technology for my future students.
