Goals for Weekend One for GARTS 6008




O.K. Confession time! My kids think I am a techno idiot! I can use technology for very basic things - e-mail, word processing, basic powerpoint etc. Anything above and beyond I am at the mercy of my kids! Not a good spot to be in!

Goal #1: Improve overall technology skills. I want to really understand what I am doing so that I can actually do it again without asking for help!! Especially from my kids!!

Goal #2: I take thousands of digital photos at school and at home. I use digital photography in my classroom in a huge way. I make matching activities, books, charts, visual schedules and booklets for parents. I only have the basic skills of snapping the photos and loading them onto the hard drive and printing them. I cannot edit them in any way!!! Many, many times I have needed to delete or alter the photos in some way and I have no idea how to use any photo software.

Goal #3: Become proficient at blogging! Wow! Cool! Already on my way!

Goal #4: We are going to use video self-modeling in my program this coming school year. I need to be a lot more savy for out putting digital video on the computer for students to view.

Goal #5: (Personal Goal) Now that I have a million digital photos....how do I organize them or "scrapbook" them? Help?
