	2. Learning the process: I am currently trying to learn the basics. I am sometimes frustrated using computers/technology. I lack confidence when using computers or other forms of technology.
	3. Understanding and application of the process: I am beginning to understand the process of using technology and can think of specific tasks in which it might be useful.
	4. Familiarity and confidence: I am gaining a sense of confidence in using the computer or other forms of technology for specific tasks. I am starting to feel comfortable using technology.
	5. Adaptation to other contexts: I think about technology as a tool to help me and am no longer concerned about its use. I can use it in many applications to prepare for and involve students in instruction.
	6. Creative application to new contexts: I can apply what I know about technology in the classroom. I am able to use it as a tool to involve students in innovative ways. I frequently integrate technology into the way that I involve students in instruction.
