USE OF TECHNOLOGY

All assignments are designed to provide exposure to all the technology tools available for you to enhance
teaching. For that reason, responses from you regarding how you use technology will assist me in
designing a curriculum that will meet your needs. Secondly, your responses will enable me to identify
areas that you may possibility need more instruction.

The purposes of this assignment are: (1) to provide feedback to your Instructor on what your technology
needs are and (2) to assess your knowledge of educational technology.

All of your responses to the steps below can be typed in the Assignment Submission box. Click on
