Assessement Reflections

While taking the assessments directed in Week 1 of this class, I confirmed what I have always known. I am not very "tech savvy". In my personal life I try to strive to become more tech savvy and I know that as an administrator I will be imperative that I do so. I do have to say that one strength that I have at the moment is that I am eager to learn about technology. I am also usually a quick learner. In the first assessment I noticed that I scored 2 out of 10 for Information Acquisition. At the moment I don't know what is available on my campus and how it is used. As an administrator my first priority would be to research that data and know what I am working with. Then I can target what else is needed and how it can best be used. I also scored 6 out of 18 on Problem Solving on the same assessment. I need to equip myself with knowledge and be trained on how I would handle problems with technology when they arise.
On the second assessment I found that I could answer any questions that had do with my classroom environment, but could not answer a question having to do with outside the classroom. On those questions I found myself answering "I Don't Know" many times. This goes back to me needing to equip myself with knowledge of what is going on at the campus level. I believe that my district does not put technology at a high priority district wide. There are not incentives for teacher who do implement technology in their classroom. Also resources are not evenly distributed along the campuses. Some elementary campuses have ELMOS while other campuses are told "there is no money to purchase them". I find this to be unfair and the kids suffer for it. I think that the technological resources should be evenly spread out thru the district.
I found the assessments to be a true reflection of where I am technologically speaking. It has helped me furter identify my strengths and my weaknesses. I look forward to learn as much as I can about technology in the weeks to come.
