Response and Reflections of Technology Assessments

Upon completing the Technology Applications Inventory and the SETDA assessment for The Teacher, I reaffirmed what I already believed to be true; I possess numerous weaknesses as an educational technology leader.
The results of the SETDA Teacher survey concluded as a third grade teacher, I have not incorporated technology into my instructional program. Our school does not provide the opportunity for technology to be utilized to its full potential. In addition, teachers, such as myself, have not received any support, training, or incentives to integrate technology advancements.
The Technology Applications Inventory was divided into four domains which included Foundations, Information Acquisition, Solving Problems, and Communication. I scored second highest in the Foundations domain, I answered "Yes" to 11 out of 18 total questions. The Foundations domain identified I possess basic understanding of computer hardware and software along with the ability to use these applications successfully. My strength is located in the Information Acquisition domain, I answered "Yes" to 6 out of 10 total questions. This domain assesses my ability to locate information on the Internet and an intranet. These two domains proved to be my strongest of the four.
The last two domains established my weakest areas. In the Solving Problems domain, I answered "Yes" to 6 out of 18 total questions. This domain pertains to utilizing a variety of programs proficiently and incorporating them into the curriculum areas. I am familiar with using Microsoft Word. I can also enter information into an Excel spreadsheet. Unfortunately, these are my limitations as I have not had the opportunity for sufficient exposure to additional programs. Finally, my weakest domain is the Communications domain, where I answered "Yes" to 3 out of 12 total questions. I discovered as a third grade teacher within a school district with limited technology, we do not communicate in a technologically advanced manner.
I require more knowledge and skills in many areas to help guide me as a future technology professional. As a principal, I understand the necessity to be able to communicate using a variety of methods. Throughout this class and future studies, I expect to broaden my horizons and gain the knowledge necessary to become a proficient technology professional.
The results of these assessments were true and accurate in my situation. They provided me with tremendous insight as to the areas I should prioritze my attention.
