Q1 Basics: Technology Skills Survey and Goals

1. Basics

INTRODUCTION TO THE TECHNOLOGY SKILLS SURVEY ACTIVITY

Having personal learning goals helps you stay focused and work toward something important to you. When you set goals, you can track your progress and see how much you've learned and improved. Plus, it gives you a clear plan to follow, making it easier to stay motivated and feel proud of your achievements!

To help you identify your PERSONAL LEARNING GOALS, you will need to complete the following tasks:

  • Complete a Technology Skills Survey
  • Use a slide presentation or script to guide you as you draft your goals.
  • Complete the 21t4s Personal Learning Goals Document.

Technology Skills Survey

The purpose of the survey and what to do with the results are embedded in the 3rd step of the survey directions. For example:

To help you identify your Personal Learning Goals, follow these steps to complete this survey.  Save your results. In the next section, you will use them to begin drafting your goals. You will also be able to compare your answers to a similar survey later on if your teacher has you do this again as a post-assessment.

Step 1. Please select the button for your grade level to complete a very short technology skills survey.

           

**IMPORTANT:  There is a box at the end of the survey for you to type your first name and last initial or a student ID number. For privacy reasons, please do NOT put your full name in the box.

Step 2. When you complete it, check with your teacher for specific directions on where to save a copy of your completed survey. 

Step 3. When you finish the survey, the next activity is to identify two or three specific Personal Learning Goals in the section: Drafting Personal Learning Goals.
