• Identify which stage most appropriately describes your position in your thinking as a person interested in technology and educational outcomes.

The stage on the Technology Integrating Chart that I feel most appropriately describes my position in my thinking as a person interested in technology and educational outcomes is the Active Infusion.

• Explain why you identify yourself at that position and give specific examples that support your selection. Your response should be a minimum of three-to-five paragraphs in order to adequately address the prompt.
  

The term active on the chart is described as “The Active attribute makes the distinction between lessons in which students passively receive information and lessons in which students discover, process, and apply their learning. Student engagement is a key component of active learning. “(Florida Center for Instructional Technology, 2014). Likewise, Infusion is described as “ Students understand how to use many types of technology tools, are able to select tools for specific purposes, and use them regularly. “(2014)

I feel I fit both parts of this description as a student. I use my computer dauly to actively receive and process new information, do research for class projects, and for personal purposes. I know how to use multiple types of technology to get the job done for a project/assignment, and am constantly learning how to use dnew types of technology.
