As I began taking the Technology Applications Inventory I realized how much I actually teach myself with technology. I have the type of personality that if I do not understand something, I am going to figure it out. Almost everything I know about technology has been a 'seek and find' or 'trial and error' type of learning. I have spent many hours on the computer working to figure something out. I am the “go to” person on our campus if they have a technology question. Many times I have no idea what the answer is but I work until I figure it out.
I have said all of this because when I was taking the inventory I had to say no to several questions just because I did not know what the technical term meant. My weakness appears to be in foundations and I think this attributes to my lack of knowledge in the terms. My strength is in communication. I am constantly preparing presentations, newsletters, and videos for my class or the school so I have become fluent in this area.
The SETDA teacher survey was more focused on the school than the teacher when compared to the Technology Assessments Inventory. This survey showed that my school and district is doing what we can with the amount of funding provided. The main area of concern that I noticed from this survey is the lack of research and collecting data through technology. This is an important part that we are missing because it can show what areas we need to improve on to help all of our students be successful.
