My strengths and weaknesses in educational technology

My strength in the area of technology in education is my willingness to try new things. Even though I did not have the benefit of electronic technology when I was in school, I am open to it and have embraced it as it has become available over the years since I first began teaching.
My weakness is that I have not kept up with the latest in the trends in technology. One reason for this recent gap is moving from a large 5a school district with incredible resources to a small 1a title I school with somewhat limited resources. The small school itself has acquired technology to accommodate more detailed and complicated projects than I have been able to attain the training to provide my students with the opportunity to use.
As I completed the two assessments, I became aware of the fact that I stalled out in my incorporation of technology into my classroom with the introduction of PowerPoint. I have not ventured into the world of utilizing video and audio components into presentations. As a language arts teacher, the integration of spreadsheets and intricate charts and graphs has not really been appropriate. Other personnel have been responsible for the distance learning, video conferencing, and many of the data manipulation applications. I will need to master these in order to be an effective technology leader on my campus. However, my abilities as a language arts teacher has afforded me the expertise of written communication and the power of visual representation as well. I will have skill in developing presentations for my staff and student body. I will have to branch out though to include the addition of video and audio to catch up with the current trends in technology. And what better way to do that then learn side-by-side with my staff.
The assessments were accurate in my estimations of where I am in my skills with technology. I believe that they are somewhat accurate in the assessment of my school in regards to the availability and assessment of student proficiencies in technology. We have not been accurately measuring the ways in which teachers are implementing technology and certainly have not been measuring the students' progress in their technology abilities.
