Short Technology Skills Survey

To help you identify Personal Learning Goals, this skills survey is provided.

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

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

***NOTE: There is a box at the end for you to type your first name and last initial or a student ID number. Please do NOT put your full name in the box for privacy.

3. You will be able to compare your answers to a similar survey later on when your teacher has you do the post-assessment. 

Note: The 6-8 skills survey was updated 9/1/2022. The Pre and the Post Skills Surveys are located on the Assessment Menu on the top menu bar. The goal is to provide an opportunity for you to identify personal learning goals first, save the results (or print them out), and then take it again in a few months, and see if you have improved and met your goals.

PLG's = Personal Learning Goals

Studies of successful learners has found that when students are involved in setting their own learning goals it can help:

• improve their academic performance
• increase their motivation to achieve by being more engaged
• increase their own pride and satisfaction in performance
• improve their self-confidence

Some important goal setting tips: S. M. A. R. T.

Write your goals down and:

1. Set goals that are SPECIFIC (example: I will improve my keyboarding).
2. Set goals that can are MEASURABLE (example: I will type at 20 words per minute on the typing test).
3. Set goals that are Achievable (example: I will practice keyboarding for 10 minutes four times a week until I reach my goal).
4. Set goals that are Realistic and Relevant (examples: Something you want to do so that you might get a higher grade, be able to type your papers faster, help you edit photos and images, etc.).
5. Timely, set a target date to achieve them, and plan to revisit the goals frequently and revise them as needed.
6. Celebrate when your goals are achieved.  (Treat yourself to a favorite snack, share it with a friend, or do a favorite activity).
7. Reflect on the goal you set, was it S.M.A.R.T. 
8. Don't be afraid to ask questions and others for help.

Getting Started:

1. Check with your teacher and open and save this 21t4s Personal Learning Goals Document to your own file space.
2. Think about the skills survey you just completed, look at the I Can Statements at the top of this page, and write down two to three goals.
3. Select some goals that are important and you want to learn to do.
4. Share your goals with your teacher.

We will remind you to review and set new goals as you go through the 21 Things.

Student Checklists

There are Quest specific checklists (located on the right-hand side) that list each step for the Quest. Students asked us to add these and find them helpful.

IMPORTANT: The checklists are Google documents that you cannot write in until you have made your own copy.

• Google Drive users: If you use Google Drive then you can go to the File menu and make a copy for yourself and rename it.
• Microsoft users: If you use Microsoft Office use the File menu and use the Download as... Microsoft document.
• We suggest renaming the checklists using the Thing and Quest number, so this one would be 1.Q1 and your initials.

Notice there are also be boxes for you to:

• write a reflection about this Quest and something new that you learned.
