Personal+Goals

Thus far in my educational career I have had enough technical savvy to merely scrape by. I will be an enthusiastic participant in this class. My area of liscensure is business. I currently teach at the Cocke County Alternative School. During my tenure there I have been called upon to teach many different subjects. I have incorporated technology in my teaching on a limited basis. I want to be able to challenge these students and perhaps light a fire in them by using technology to get them interested in their studies. The NETS*T standards 1,2 and 5 relate to this. I will learn to use Powerpoint not only as a presentation tool but as an interactive tool also.I will use my Personal Learning Network to further involve my students use of technology. Outside of this my passion lies in making young men and women stronger in the weight room. My goal for this semester is to create a spreadsheet with which I can track the progress made by my trainees on various lifts. I want to be able to show my lifters the progress they are making on paper therefore making their gains more tangible to them. This goal relates to NETS*T #5.
