During the Atomic Learning Self-Assessment, I learned that I am comfortable using basic computer skills. I feel like I need to review databases a lot, because it is not something that I use in my classroom everyday. I would also like to work on videos because I know that this would be beneficial for my students. While I feel like I can use videos that are downloaded from the Internet and video streaming, I am more concerned about making my own.
I feel comfortable with Word and Powerpoint and know that I do a great job of incorporating those daily into my classroom. I know that I use a lot of technology in my classroom and that it is beneficial to students, but they have come to expect this. I want to go beyond powerpoint and start making technology not only teacher centered, but also student centered.
Five Technology Goals:
1. Use more student stations with technology.
- To be able to accomplish this goal, I will start adding more technology by adding a district created program called QuickChecks.
2. Learn how to make Blackboard more student friendly.
- I will work on this by becoming more proficient myself in blackboard so that I can incorporate it into more kid friendly language.
3. Learn to use Excel to produce charts, graphs, and diagrams.
- I mainly use Excel for spreadsheets, and would like to use more charts, graphs, and diagrams to help when I desegregate data.
4. Learn how to incorporate more sound elements into my powerpoints. Such as speeches, spoken word, etc.
- I will do this by finding more sound elements from online into my powerpoints to make the students more interested in the subject at hand. I can do this by simply adding in Grammar Rock songs.
5. Learn how to use Databases.
- I will take start using Database more often to see how this would be beneficial in my English classroom.
