Personal+Learning+Goal

**My Personal Learning Goal:** My personal learning goal for this semester is to better and broaden my knowledge of technology, so that I will be able to teach my future students in a way that is creative and effective for the learning styles of the 21st century learners.

I have chosen the above as my learning goal because it is also related to NETS*T standard. One in particular... //"customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources."// The use technology is rapidly growing in the education world, so as my knowledge of technology grows, so will my ability to //"customize and personalize"// my teaching styles to those of 21st century learners.


 * My Action Plan: **
 * // Use Mac computers more often- // This is very important to me because a lot of schools use only Mac products. Since I have always used Windows, I plan on using Macs more along this semester to better my knowledge of them so that I will be more well-rounded and be able to use both brands with ease.
 * //Learn to make spreadsheets-// I really like the way that Dr. Milligan uses a spreadsheet table to list exactly what she wants our assignments need to consist of. By using spreadsheets, I will learn to mimic her way of using them so that I will one day be able to do that in my classroom.
 * //Learn the basics of the Excel program-// I have never used this program and I know that it is an impeccable tool that can be used very effectively in the classroom. I am hoping that I can learn the basic uses of the program before I complete this course.
