Online project at <a href="http://www.adultedonline.org" target="_blank">www.adultedonline.org</a> has
launched a technology integration self-assessment for teachers. See how you are
doing with using technology in your classroom, and what the possibilties are.
There may be some here that you haven't considered before. The self-assessment
takes about 15-20 minutes to complete, and if you wish you can continue, based
on your results, to create a professional development plan for yourself and
save it online.<br>
<br>
>From the link above you can register as a teacher or as an administrator.
Administrators can invite teachers, track their results, and see aggregated
results in order to plan professional development for a site or agency. <br>
<br>
There are two self-assessments on this Web site, the one for tech integration
and also one for distance teaching, so be sure you are looking at technology
integration.<br>
<br>
We will be discussing this new tool on this list in a few weeks, but I wanted
you to know that it's available now, so please check it out when you have a
chance. Our list moderator, Mariann Fedele, along with David Rosen, Jackie
Taylor, and many others contributed much to the development of this tool, and
we are eager to have people try it out.<br>
