As I begin my second and third class from UNT, I have to stop and assess my strengths and weaknesses in the area of technology. On one hand, I feel confident and well-equipped in the area of technology. I enter data daily on my computer at school. I use my computer for attendance, assessments and correspondence every day. There is, however, so much more to technology besides computers. Such things as an ELMO or even a complicated DVD player might give me some major headaches. There is so much technology out there, most of which I have never used.
I do have a single strength that I think will serve me well. I have the desire to learn all I can regarding technology. I have learned so much in the six years I have been teaching at the Elementary level. To some my knowledge may seem minuscule, but I can use Word, Power Point, Movie Maker, Print Shop, Board Maker, and use a VCR/DVD player. Six years ago, I could only use two of the six items I listed. I plan on learning all I can from UNT about technology and implementing that knowledge in the school or public library position I plan to get upon graduation.
