    3. Goal 3
      1. Use technology to maintaing differentiation techniques, but also making each student feel important, challenged, and above all, interested.
  4. Ideas For Future Success

    2. Assessment and Evaluation
      1. Continuous assessment, both of learning and for learning, and evaluation of the use of ICT and digital resource
    3. Sutdent Centered Learning

  6. My Threats
    1. State Standards
      1. State standards change and may be difficult to integrate technology and maintain the standards set.
    2. Student Comprehension
      1. Students may not find technology easy to use, show students first hand the capabilities, and an interest may be strruck.
    3. Access
      1. Schools may not have necessary materials, neither will students. Checking with librarian, and using free software will jump this hurdle
  7. My Opportunities
    1. Projects- making projects technologically based
    2. Study Time- using technology to helps students with studying, instead of notecards, study guides etc
    3. Parent Involvement- Making Online Lesson Plan assessments and course plans for parents to track students (Maybe with glogs)
  8. My Weaknesses
    1. Interest
      1. Work around by doing what I have to do to maintain student interest
    2. Organization
      1. Make detailed folders to keep plans and ideas together in the same location
    3. Planning
      1. Make detailed Lesson Plans to ensure organization and focused work assignments
  9. My Strengths
    1. I have access to multiple databases
    2. Knowledge How-To Skills
    3. I have different systems to access different types of systems (MacOS and Windows VISTA
