=__Enhancing Core Teaching Skills with Technology__ = =A Little About Me=

=Introduction to my ePortfolio= This is where you will find all of the information I learned while taking the Enhancing Core Teaching Skills through Technology Course. I will use the information to take my students into the 21st century. =**My goal(s)**= I want to find a balance between instruction, assessment, and the effective use of digital tools and resources to promote higher order thinking, engaged student learning, and authentic assessment practices in my classroom. After reviewing my LoTi Survey I have a long way to go. At the level of teaching innovation I scored a 1-Awareness. My goal is to bring this up to a 3-Infusion. I will do this by placing more emphasis on higher order thinking such as problem solving, experimentation and scientific inquiry. At the level of current instructional practices I scored a 3-Somewhat True of Me Now. In order to up this level my goal is to change to a more learner-based instructional approach. Students need to direct their own learning, have varied assessments, and problem-solving opportunities. On the level of personal computer use I scored a 2-Not True of Me Now. My goal is to make time to become a digital learner myself. I need to make time to become more familiar with how my students use technology everyday.
