After completing the two survey assessments, SETDA Teacher Survey and the Technology Applications Survey I clearly see that I have an adventure ahead of me to become proficient in technology as an educational leader.
The Technology Application Inventory surveys knowledge regarding the four domains of technology; Foundations, Information Acquisition, Solving Problems with Technology Tools and Communication. According to the results of the survey I am strongest in the domain of Information Acquisition. This domain involves being able to properly know how to use, locate and find information as well as to be able to identify the source and relevancy. Solving Problems with Technology and Tools is the domain that my knowledge level is rated as being the weakest. This domain deals with collaborating professionally and using technology in the classroom. This is an area that I must increase my knowledge so that I can become a much better educational leader and teacher.
The SETDA Teacher Survey surveys how technology is used in your school, classroom and district. After completing this survey I was faced with realizing that I miss many opportunities to use technology. Unfortunately, as a school, many of us can do a better job in implementing technology-supported learning experiences. Teachers on campus and throughout the district decide individually how and when they will use technology. Students are not assessed formally regarding technology on my campus that I am aware of, and we are limited in the amount of classroom computers available.
After reflecting upon these surveys I agree with the findings. Technology should be used much more frequently to motivate and help students become successful. In order to be a high-quality educator it is necessary to understand how technology affects student learning. I believe it is also necessary for the administrator to take the lead by encouraging and motivating teachers to use technology in meaningful ways.
