Technology Strengths and Weaknesses

Question: As an educator, what are your present strengths and weaknesses in technology? How do you plan to use your strengths? How do you plan to address the weaknesses?

My educator background is very centered in mathematics. For that reason one of my strengths is the use of calculators, basic four function ranging up to graphing calculators. I also am comfortable with the use of what I would consider basic technology: overhead projectors, computers, projectors, televisions, and VHS and DVD players. At this time I believe my strengths regarding technology to be above average and my plan is to use that knowledge in order to improve upon my weaknesses. Regarding my weaknesses, I plan to go along with the course as directed and to be open to asking for assistance from my mentor when I encounter technology that I am not yet comfortable with. I hope in the end that I will feel comfortable using technology in its various forms to better assist in the classroom, to help other teachers and to help students become more comfortable too.
