During I completed the checklist for Basic Tech Skills, I found I still
have a large room to improve my technology skills. There are
some problems I have in this field.
Firstly, the difficult part for me to understand the checklist is the
language transformation. Maybe I know a lot of skills mentioned
in the checklist actually, but I cannot recognize them in English.
So the first goal I want to complete is familiar with the language
transformation.

We are living in an interesting time. Personalized
learning is the best opportunity and most efficient way
to ensure students learn what they need to learn to be
successful. We need to prepare students for jobs that
arent even created yet. So we need to transform what
teaching and learning are all about.

Secondly, although I am familiar with the general word processing
skills, I am not good at using its advanced function. Normally, I use
Word to write papers. So the basic functions like composing,
creating a header and footer, changing fonts and styles of text
always are used when I write papers. Also, sometimes when I want
to get some result, I usually use the way that not effective. Like
forcing material to new page, I usually use the return type again
and again instead of the skill like using page break. So the result is
that although I know how to use the effective skill, I am not familiar
with it. The goal for this part is learning how to use the advanced
function about Microsoft Word.
