1. Where would you rate yourself in each area?

		Levels of Technology Integration into the Curriculum
		Entry The teacher begins to use technology tools to deliver curriculum content to students.	Adoption The teacher directs students in the conventional and procedural use of technology tools.	Adaptation The teacher facilitates students in exploring and independently using technology tools.	Infusion The teacher provides the learning context and the students choose the technology tools to achieve the outcome.	Transformation The teacher encourages the innovative use of technology tools. Technology tools are used to facilitate higher order learning activities that may not have been possible without the use of technology.
	Active Students are actively engaged in using technology as a tool rather than passively receiving information from the technology.

Charaactristics of the Learning Environment  areas my teaching is only at the Entry Level or Adoption Levels.  Individually there are a few opportunities to go farther, but with liminted technology few students get that far.

2. Where do you think you could reasonably be at the end of the next grading period? 
I think I can bring in more experiences where students can adapt more. Since this is the first year teaching this age level and subject, I can adjust my "Choice Work" to include more areas of the Rubric based on what technology our school has and the student has at home.  
3. What steps will you need to take in order to make the growth happen?
I think I can write a small grant, apply for more technology in my room and also compile some existing resouces to reinvent my "Choice Work " page so that more technology can be intergrated.
