Educational Technology Assessment
This tool serves as an assessment for our entire KIBSD community in the field of Educational Technology. This assessment has been created to assess the general understanding that adults in the school district have about the following: web 2.0, innovative technologies, basic troubleshooting, tools appropriate for the task, and nine other aspects of technology which are in line with the educational technology movement through the U. S. *A note about this assessment: this assessment is in it's pilot form (your feedback is valued), also - this is not assessing your technician abilities, rather it is Read morefocused on general knowledge and integration. Very Important: Please don't guess. Please answer the questions with what you actually do - not what you think is the correct answer. This is imperative to getting an accurate proficiency level at the end of the test. There are 28 questions.
This assessment will help the district know where to focus our technology professional development, which teachers can serve as technology mentors, and to determine what type of hardware and software is appropriate for our district as a whole. Thank you for your time!
