Strengths and Weaknesses

When it comes to reflecting on my strengths and weaknesses according to the UNI survey and the NET Standards. My overall standing with the UNI survey was really strong as well as with the NET Standards, I have a thoroughly good knowledge about the concepts that are presented in the laws and understandings about what systems to have knowledge about. As a beginning teacher I would incorporate different types of technology to teach not only health but history as well. Both can have interactive guides and lessons that encourage student participation.

My weaknesses would be more along the lines of using valid sources and incorporating those for my lessons and making sure students understood ethics more thoroughly. As I was doing an internet search for the available workshops or tutorials that were available I found two websites geared towards technology and internet usage in the classroom. I would use http://eduscapes.com/tap/topic76.htm and http://www.internet4classrooms.com/on-line.htm. Both are geared towards the improvement of technology in the classroom. As you research and incorporate the tutorials on these websites it shows the available programs and how to best utilize them and improve the knowledge and understanding of the information.

Some of my goals would be to further my own knowledge and understanding about the available concepts with the standards and integrate them in my own classroom for my own students to understand. To be able to understand and strengthen my already strengths and my current weaknesses by accessing outside resources geared at educating teachers will help me to further my own understanding about technology and stay caught up with my students. These are extremely vital to maintaining credibility as an educator and evolving as new information evolves.
