One weakness is that the uni made me more aware of is that I know next to nothing about multimedia fair use guidelines. Probably my most glaring weakness is the use of spreadsheets. I have next to no experience with them. I can and have filled out an extremely simple spreadsheet, and I know how to navigate and fill in an existing spreadsheet. I have extremely limited knowledge when it comes to anything past a basic power point project. I have learned to add some sound and make them more aesthetically appealing. Video editing and transferring to a digital format is very foreign to me.
I figure that when it comes time to do grading I will force myself to learn some spreadsheet tools. I would like to take a class on spreadsheets, but I fear that it will be more comprehensive then will be worth my time. I really just need to know how to create a grading sheet that computes a grade at the end. I know that the city puts on excel classes regularly. I also want to take a power point and photo shop class. Finally any class I can take on digital video editing.
If I was able to take all of these classes I would consider myself a much more rounded teacher technology wise. The excel class would increase my ability to track data and study it efficiently, making me a more efficient grader, and a more informed instructor. The power point, photo shop, and digital editing would give me to tools to be able to differentiate my class rooms better, and put me in a better position to pass those skills on to my students.
