Technology Skills Checklist

Skills Checklist

At the beginning of this course, the instructors will ask students to review this checklist and check "3" for those skills they believe they have mastered. Students should also note which skills they have yet to acquire. Through assignments and tutorials within this course, each student must show mastery of all skills listed.

Each skill is rated using a 3-point rubric.

1=could not perform the skill
2=skill was performed but error(s) present
3=mastery achieved

* If a student earns a 1 or 2 on any skill, tutorials are available. The student must achieve a "3" on each skill to earn a grade in this course.
