Now please tell us more about how you are
currently integrating technology in your classes. Tell us as much as you can, giving
specific examples.
Do technology and
the internet serve as a resource for
you? How do you use it to plan lessons
and activities for your students or to
inform yourself? Are there web resources
connected to your text that you find helpful
to you? Are there websites that you go to all
the time for support and information? Be as
specific as possible.
How would you rate the computer
technology support here at CCS?
Excellent - I always get help when
I need it
Good - I usually get help when I
need it
So So - Sometimes I get help,
sometimes I don't
Poor - I have not gotten the help
