Strengths & Weaknesses

I ended up being right in the middle in almost every question in the UNI Survey. I feel like I could be able to do everything on the NET STandards. I feel like I have some good strengths. Beacuse I work with a computer everyday at my job, I feel like I have some advantages. I know that technology is a very, very important part of business and if we don't teach our students about technology we are doing them a disservice. Some of my strengths is that I am pretty computer savvy. I usually know how to fix things. I also think that technology is very valuable and so I know I will always use it and learn new technology. I am also able to operate any kind of technology. I also feel like I could teach my students how to use technology totheir benefit.

Some of my weaknesses are that I don't always remember all of the copyright laws. Sometimes they are confusing to me and I forget what exactly you have to do if something is copyrighted or what you can use it in. I also don't think I would be able to adapt technology to students with special needs. I also think I need to make sure the things I find on the internet are accurate, because sometimes it is hard to know what is credible.

Some goals that I have for my future teaching career is to make an effort to use technology in everything possible. I think kids have a lot more fun when technology is integrated into teaching. I also think I need to work on my weaknesses. I will need to study up on copyright laws so that I will be able to know what I can use. I also want to learn how to accommodate students with special needs when it comes to technology, because I will have students in my classroom with special needs and it is important to know what to do. I think one place that woule be great ti imporve my weaknesses is http://www.copyright.gov. I also think it would be great to take an online tutuorial on students with special needs or listen to a podcast.
