Conclusion
The training program will cost me around $1100.00 including taxes and should take me less than six months to complete. The key here is that once training is completed, I must continue to use the technology to keep my mind fresh and my skills up to par. If and when this plan is implemented, I believe that I will be one of the many competent facilitators that will be able to handle basically generic computer trouble shooting problems and audio visual difficulties. Why would teachers invest in such a hefty sum to enhance their technological proficiencies? Most of them would be dissuaded by the price; however, I want to invest because I want to become proficient in all areas in a very short period of time. In essence, I want to help students in every way and in addition, I desire to have the upper hand in technology when I decide to move into another career field such as the administration side of education.
