Strengths

• Researching reputable sites and viewing with a critical lens

• Using technology to teach myself new skills

Gaps

• Digital safety and wellbeing with my personal use of digital technology is low

• My digital knowledge is limited to what I can do I don't have knowledge on the how or why, which is an important element of using a variety of technology within schools i.e. teaching students how to use technology and problem solving when I encounter new school systems

• Administration 

Barriers

• knowing what is practical and available to use within schools including licensing  and/or paying for program use

• using the right models or programs that are transferrable from one type to another i.e. using IOS and Microsoft

• Managing the difference in student's tech abilities, as well with my own

• Being able to use a range of digital tools i.e. laptops, smartboards, i-pads, cameras, VR, 

After completing the survey, I discovered that my digital knowledge is higher than I expected looking at the bar graph results. Considering myself skilled in locating, collating and interpreting online information.

My level of skill when using digital devices:

-          Word documents and canva

-          Posting to forums/discussion boards

-          Creating videos though Youtube and infographics

-          Communciate using Zooma dn social media apps

My gaps in skill generally lie within the creative aspect of digital literacy

-          editing images

-          animations

-          create and edit audio files

-          create websites

-          draw and paint

-          create comic strips and eBooks

Confidence

While I consider myself not confident in digital literacy, I can see through my survey results that I have some sound knowledge and practical capabilities across the majority of digital education and that it is my perceived level of confidence that would hold me back the most in educating through technology. I can see simple exposure to the tools identified in the gaps in my skills would quickly change from beginner to foundational/intermediate.
