Technology Integration Matrix Reflection

To make this easier to read, I am going to separate it into each of the key sections to rate myself.

• Active: I rate myself here as adaption. I am trying to encourage and facilitate the use of a wider range of technologies, but I don't do it as regularly as I could, and it's still fairly teacher-driven. I could move toward infusion by the end of the next grading period by planning more in advance what the goals of our projects are, so that I can better give guidance and yet also let students make more choices.
• Collaborative: Probably also adaptation. My classes increasingly use GoogleDrive for projects to allow for collaboration, but not in a particularly innovative way. I can move toward infusion in part because of our school's adoption of a BYOD program. As I plan an exchange program with a French high school next year, we could also move toward infusion.
• Constructive: At this point I'd say adoption. I'm open to possibilities but don't always make connections as strongly as I'd like to. Some of this may be partially because I'm still fairly new to high school teaching, but I could move toward adaptation by including tools more seamlessly, and letting students explore them more.
• Authentic: Maybe adaptation - as a world language teacher, technology is very useful to expose students to things that are authentic parts of cultures from all over the world. However, I still don't include much choice. I could move toward infusion by allowing students more self-directed choices for their use of technology.
• Goal-directed: I think I'm fairly low on the chart here - entry or adoption. I haven't yet found ways for students to monitor their progress using technology. I can make progress here by seeing what kinds of programs or methods students could use to track their own progress.
