As an educator, I have strengths and weaknesses in the area of technology. As a teacher of high school students, I must stay current on instructional technologies that my school district uses. I do pretty well learning new technologies and incorporating them into the lesson plans. I actually have been asked to train others on some of this technology. I feel that my strengths in learning new technologies will support me in learning new instructional technologies to use in the classroom as well.
I do have some weaknesses in technology. A weakness I have recently been faced with is that I have never started a blog, until this posting. I will overcome this fear and lack of adeptness as time goes on. If I do not understand something, I will work on it until I figure it out. It brings great satisfaction when I am able to conquer technological difficulties. I work closely with our Computer Technology Assistant at my school and learn a lot from him. I find it very interesting and exciting when I find new tools to use at home and in the classroom. I think it's very important to stay on top of technologies and keep that common interest connection with the students. Until next time...
