Phase+1

__Phase 1 Questions: Reflect on Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge__  Cindy Ifft: (TK) This is by far the weakest part for me within the TPACK. I am a Digital Immigrant when it comes to learning the new technology up to this point. I have learned so much from this class thus far. I am excited to use technology with my classes this fall. (PK) I feel I have a good knowledge of pedagogy. I love to get my students actively involved in learning. However, there is always room for improvement. (CK) I believe I have a strong knowledge of my content. I am always looking for new ideas to add to my PE classes. This is definitely my strongest area in the TPACK model.

Janet Rinker: (TK) I am obviously a Digital Immigrant. I rate myself the poorest in the group for technology. I am trying to improve my technology skills and have definitely improved my skills since. (PK) My pedagogy is average. I try to get my students involved in my two high school English classes. I am actively involved with my students in their learning and try hard to keep them movtivated. (CK) I feel my content is my strength. I always try to improve my transistion English curriculum according to the high school English teacher's curriculum. I try to mimic their tasks so my students are advancing as much as possible.

Ann Egleton: (TK): I feel I know very little in this area. The more I am learning in this class, the more I am realizing that I am really a Digital Immigrant. Even though I find it frustrating, I am learning. (PK): I feel very confident in this area. I know how to relate to high school students. I would rate myself the highest in this area. (CK): I feel I am very strong in content knowledge. One can always learn more about their subjects, and I enjoy learning!

Katie Ricketts: (TK): I feel this area is my weakest area. I do not have a lot of technology in my classroom currently, so I feel my opportunties are somewhat limited at this point. However, I am always willing to incorporate new types of technology into my classroom and how to use them effectively with my students. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">(PK): I am much stronger in this area, but having just finished only my third year of teaching, there is always room for me to grow in this area. The more I teach my students, the more I am learning what works for them and what does not. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">(CK): I teach my students a variety of skills and I feel I am knowledgeable in these areas. Most of my students are functioning on a very low level and are learning very basic skills that we use everyday. Therefore, most of these skills are second nature to me.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">We feel we are a 4 based on a scale of 1 to 10. Our knowledge of technology is our weakest area, bringing this overall number down.
