6. My Threats
   1. 1. Low budgets that keep schools from purchasing new forms of technology.
      1. 1. Apply for grants, help with school fund raisers, and do as much as I can with the resources available.
   2. 2. State education standards not allowing for enough time to effectively integrate technology for our students.
      1. 2. Integrate technology into the lesson so that the standards are covered at the same time that technology is being used.
   3. 3. Students not having technology at home to further their studies with various technologies and assignments.
      1. 3. Do as much with technology at school to where it is not necessary for the students to have technology at home. Differeintiate for the tudents who do not have technology at home, i.e. let them go to the library more often.

   3. 3. The growing number of technological possibilities in and out of the classroom.
8. My Weaknesses
   1. 1. Not enough knowledge of internet based technology.
      1. 1. Go to extra training, do personal research, and ask plenty of questions.
   2. 2. The lack of creativity to integrate different forms of technology and certain math lessons.
      1. 2. Collaborate with other teachers, trial and error, research ideas from teachers all over the world.
   3. 3. My desire to be a profectionist when creating projects.
      1. 3. Know that nothing is perfect and ask for the kids' opinions and suggestions.
