"Strengths&Weaknesses"

My strengths in the NET Standards were the first three standards. These demonstrate a good understanding of technology operation and concepts, plan and design of effective learning environments and experiences through technology, and implementing technology into curriculum plans that include methods and strategies. My strengths in the UNI surveys were knowing how to operate a computer and use its different features, files. Also being aware of computers and computing technology in business and society and having observed devices to help special needs children. I also know that there are sources online that are information and useful, and can tell which sites are accurate.

My weaknesses in the UNI survey are the areas of troubleshooting computers, video conferencing, using databases to analyze and produce reports, use of spreadsheets and calculating information, and basic computer terminology. In the NET standards the high skill levels of assessment and evaluation, productivity and professional practice, and social, legal, and human are the areas of weakness. The two goals that I've decided as a beginning teacher are based off of my weaknesses and how I can improve: To learn basic computer terminology, so I can teach students the information and understand questions that arrive. The second goal is to learn how technology can be used to do assessments and evaluation strategies, by applying them to student subject matter. Also knowing a variety of assessment techniques for my own use.

The two online tutorials that I've found to help me improve my weaknesses are first helpwithpcs.com. This site will help further my knowledge of basic computer terminology by giving me proper definitions, and provide examples of them. This site has all the computer terminology from A-Z so it will be a good resource to refer back to. The second tutorial website is http://tie.smartlibrary.org/newinterface/segment.cfm?segment-2277, which is a website that tells you why technology is used to assess and why it is useful. They gives you all the background information and examples you could need. This will help me get a better view of technology uses for assessment for the classroom and students. This will be a great resource for my weakness in this area.
