I scored a six on the "Locator Self-Assessment for Teachers". In the area of "plan and deliver instruction", I am a "developing tech". As much as I would love to think I "use technology that allows me to implement effective instructional strategies as well as meet diverse student needs", I know I should be doing this more often. I also tend to use technology for the kids who learn easily, and then again with the struggling learners, but I don't always plug technology in for the students in the average range. I am an "early tech" in the area of assessment of student progress. I do use an electronic grade book, but I don't think this is what the survey is looking for. I evaluate students in a variety of ways, but I don't use technology to do this. I am a "developing tech" in the area of managing IEP and administrative tasks. My school is not required to honor IEPs, although it does try to meet the needs of each child. I do use technology to manage daily administrative classroom tasks, such as using Eclass Grades and First Class. In the areas of communicating with parents and advancing my professional knowledge, I am a "target tech". I use Iphoto, Iweb, First Class, Keynote, and our school web page to communicate with parents. And, as all of us are, I am advancing my professional knowledge in all of these areas through the "Astech" degree program at Simmons.
