5.1: Optimizing Your Tech & Tech Skills - Check in With Yourself

Check in With Yourself

WHAT: Online, hybrid and even face-to-face classes can require a variety of technologies for reviewing content, interacting with others, and assessing what you learned.  By the end of this Level you will add at least one new skill to Level Up your use of technology for learning.

WHY: Technology keeps changing and your teachers may choose technologies that you have not used to accomplish learning tasks. You may need to install software or a mobile app, or you may want to go through a tutorial and practice with the technology. That way you can focus on learning--not technology issues--when your classes begin. This Check in With Yourself survey will tell you which technologies and technology skills to investigate further in the Inform Yourself section.

HOW: Respond to each question in the Check in With Yourself survey for this Level.

• High Strength area - I do this regularly.
• Strength area - I have done this before and know how.
• Growth area - I have tried this and want to level up.
• High Growth area - This idea is new to me and I want to learn more.

Look at your results to identify growth or high growth areas to investigate in the Optimizing Your Tech and Tech Skills - Inform Yourself activity.
