About Me
Resume
To demonstrate my competency with this standard, I created a Webliography of useful Web sites on budgeting, planning, and policies for technology in education. Even though I have not yet had the opportunity to participate in many of the tasks within this standard, I was able to locate valuable information on the before-mentioned topics. These sites would be a great resource for me should I ever be asked to perform any of these technology facilitator duties.
My career in education has just begun, so my experience is quite limited. Many of the responsibilities of this standard have not been delegated to me, although I am interested in participating if given the chance. I am always willing to become involved in a new area of technology; any experience will allow me to continue to develop my expertise. I hope to be given the opportunity to complete some of these tasks. When I do, I will be able to offer an extensive list of online resources.
