Educational Technology-Individual Development Plan

I met with cc the other day to help her develop a plan to improve her knowledge of technology and how she integrates it into her classroom. The meeting was very quick because cc already had goals in mind. She was also sure that she was at the developing tech level in both use and integration in her classroom.

In the next two weeks cc wants to improve her understanding video production. In particular, she wants to improve her knowledge of her video camera. Using the manual focus and the menus are of particular interest to her. She also wants to effectively manipulate the zoom features on her camera. She also wants to develop her understanding of video editing programs. She wants to be able to manipulate footage on the timeline effectively.

Over the next year, cc would like to offer professional development opportunities/courses for fellow teachers at the early and developing tech levels. In these courses, she wants to address the personal basic needs of the teachers.

As these goals are her personal goals, she will be responsible to follow through with them. I'm looking forward to hearing from her about her progress.
