As an educator, I believe my main strengths in terms of technology are selecting technological services/equipment suitable for the selected tasks. I am also strong in my ability to assist students in using these technologies. My main weaknesses are that I often do not have the time to explore new technologies. I also have a distinct lack of equipment in my classroom. The technology currently availabe in my classroom for instruction are a whiteboard and an overhead.
My strengths can be utilized by planning more technology-based lessons using computers at my school, when they are available. The lack of equipment issue can be very trying and is restrictive. The other teachers in my hall may be able to help me with this by lending me their equipment.
I plan to address these weaknesses by working more closely with the technology facilitator at my school, and attending more trainings with my school district. I caan also consult with my "technologically-advanced" friends and coworkers for ideas.
