Strengths & Weaknesses

According to the UNI survey and the NETS standards my technology strength is that I am comfortable using a wide range of technology. I have designed instruction where students utilize technology they already know how to use. However, I have not designed instruction for teaching students how to use technology.

Two Technology skills I would like to develop are creating data bases and using spread sheets. A goal I would like to accomplish as a beginning teacher is design instruction and develop strategies for teaching students to use technology.

I could use this tutorial to help me prepare to teach my students how to use Microsoft Excel (http://www.teach-nology.com/tutorials/excel/), and this list of student spread sheet activities and lessons(http://www.teach-nology.com/themes/comp/spreadsheets/). This tutorial (http://www.geekgirls.com/menu_databases.htm) would be helpful in learning how to create and use databases. And this lesson plan (http://www.norman.k12.ok.us/092/techscope/languagearts/detectives.htm) could help me teach my students data base skills.
