1. Kendall DeMarco MEDT 3401 Summer 2011
2. Top 5 Tools
   1. Cybermentoring
      1. Students are paired with a teacher candidate who reads their work and gives positive feedback on what to change
   2. Saxton Elementary School Math
      1. This is when math instruction that is taught on a chapter by chapter basis
   3. Kidspiration
      1. Students use this tool to understand math concepts such as symmetry, base ten blocks, patterns and fact families
   4. Georgia Standards Math Games
      1. an assessment that is aligned with the Georgia math standards
   5. All Together
      1. different games that are aligned with the standards
3. Essential Conditions I Can Influence
   1. Access to Hardware, Software, and other Resources for Sustainable Integration
   2. Technical Assistance.
   3. Engaged Communities
4. 2 Goals
   1. Work in-engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources.
   2. Work on- customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources.
5. Assistive Technology Tools
   1. Books on Tape
   2. Audio-voice amplification device for teachers
6. My Threats
   1. Learning about new and improved technologies because of time management skills.
      1. Set aside a certain time to learn about new technologies
   2. Do not like change
      1. Again setting aside a specific time each week to learn about changes made.
   3. The area I may be in may not be up to date on new technology.
      1. Asking for new technology to be introduced
7. My Opportunities
   1. using the computer to teach students about technology
   2. I enjoy using the interactive board to teach lessons
   3. It depends on the school and where I am located but using all different types of technology will help students learn more effectively.
8. My Weaknesses
   1. My biggest weakness will have to be videoing myself. Such in the progress video journals.
      1. I feel that I can work around this by practicing it over and over.
   2. Creating a "movie" is another weakness of mine because there is so much to it.
      1. In order to work around this I need to watch many videos and learn from others.
   3. I find that the NETS-T is a big weakness because I have not yet master them!
      1. Working on mastering the standards will help me in fixing this weakness.
9. My Strengths
   1. I learned how to make a Glog and this can be used as a tool to help teach my future students!
   2. Podcasting- I have become very familiar with podcasting. I can use this tool and Itunes to teach my future students!
   3. Assistive Technology is another strength because I find it very useful and look forward to using it in the future!
