Module+2+Reflection


 * How the artifacts in your pre-competencies verification reflect your technology use as an educator? In light of your learning about TPACK, identify areas of improvement needed. **


 * __Describe:__** This week I completed my pre-competencies verification in regards to the NETS-T for the University of Akron. I also was introduced to TPACK and what it means in regards to teaching.


 * __Impact:__** While sifting through all of my files and looking at artifacts I have created in regards to the standards, I realize that I am incorporating technology into my lessons. However, I continuously found Microsoft Word documents, PowerPoints and various websites and video links. I need to branch out and start taking advantage of ALL the technology I have available to me. I have fallen into my comfort zone and I haven’t moved out of it. I need to learn to use new tools and add in various forms of technology to enhance my lessons. TPACK really enforces the tandem use of Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge. I think I need to add in the T a little more often. I am ready to find new tools and incorporate them into my future lessons.


 * __Intent:__** I plan on taking my new knowledge of TPACK and using different forms of technology, other than the ones I am currently using, to enhance my teaching and deliverance of material. This is will definitely benefit my students.
