Though I know that I have improved with my knowledge of educational technology, standards, and integration into the classroom. I find that I sell myself a bit short on what I know. However, while taking this self-assessment survey, I did answer a judge according to the best of my knowledge, however short it may be.
First, I found that I believe that technology implementation into the classroom is very important for students. However, I do not believe that I am as proficient as I would like to be. For example, after taking the survey, I realized that I am very weak in the area of having knowledge about funding. This has a coincidental twist because I am currently needing more hardware for my classroom and department so that we may have technology for our student to use. While NETS, the State of Texas, and new Cscope curriculum all call for more technology; I do not have readily available access and would like to obtain it. Therefore I believe I had start with researching funding.
Second, for Digital-Age Learning Culture, I believe that I am minimizing my abilities, or being realistic about the inhibitions that lacking in hardware is putting on the digital culture in my classroom. I rated myself as proficient, but with one very weak (in promoting and participating in global communities).
Third, I found what I consider to be discrepancies. Because I have not had the opportunity to exercise recruiting and retaining competent technical personnel; I rated the importance high and my abilities at very weak. A second discrepancy is is in reference to excellence in professional practice. I find it very difficult to stay abreast on technology trend when funding for everything is low and trend come and go; and are often a gamble.
