2 Goals
- To keep updated on the latest knowledge of technology that can help my clients.
- To help as many clients as possible with the use of technology. Many try to learn to use telepractice.
-
My Strengths
- Having a computer most of my life, I have the ability to use basic technology that I could integrate into my job later. I.E. Powerpoints.
- I have a good memory, so with that I could learn how use a certain technology and use it again later.
- I can now create podcasts and make digital movies that will allow me to have a different angle to help clients.
-
My Threats and how to work around them.
- Some things may be too expensive to integrate into my teaching environment. I can work around this by trying to get donations of some sort.
- Technology may come out too quickly to learn each effectively for integration into the classroom. I can work around this by trying to read recent articles about different technology.
- Some technology may not work for clients and that can get discouraging when using it. I can work around this by remembering that certain technologies do not work for some clients.
-
My Weakness and how I can work around them.
- I know how to do basic things with certain technology, but not complex stuff. To work around this, I can continue to challenge myself when learning about new technologies.
- Not much training with different kinds of technology. I can work around this by taking extra courses that teach new technology.
- I easily get frustrated when technology does not work how I want it too. I can work around this by telling myself to be patient with technology.
-
My Opportunities
- UWG provides many different programs for free. I could get them to increase learning opportunities for students.
- Many books and classes I could use to help learn how to integrate technology into my future position.
- There are many websites and articles that show/explain how to use different technology in the clinical setting.
