TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION SELF-ASSESSMENT ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
ISTE Standard 1 for the Educator emphasizes professional development growth. Identifying key
areas of importance for our personal growth enables us to determine a point of emphasis in our
course of study. The assignment intends to help you self-assess your current understanding of
technology in the classroom and reflect on specific areas in which you might like to emphasize
your coursework this term.
INSTRUCTIONS
To begin, consider your use of educational technology. What are your strengths, and in what
areas would you like to grow? If you are unsure, find one of the free self-assessment tests online
and allow it to help you pinpoint potential areas for growth.
Once you have identified some areas you would like to improve, find three articles from the
Edutopia website to help you begin to address these areas of growth; see the link provided with
