Anders is right to say that he would need more concrete examples on how to improve himself. Nevertheless, the tool is useful for regular self-assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
Teacher mentor can help you have an overview of your ICT skills, but you need a deeper analisys to improove yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
I think teacher mentor is useful as a start, because it helps you realize what are your strenghts and your weaknesses in everyday teaching. But as a tool, it cannot be too specific, because it has to be useful for a wide range of people. The report is the starting point on wich everyone has to elaborate his own way, his personal goals and trainings to improve his teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I have noticed that the "best" level always involves getting other teachers interested and reach out. However, this seems to be quite out of my control as sadly, my fellow language teachers are either too busy to worry about another task or not interested.

# data[].attributes.body
Sorry, it is the third time that I try to complete this task. I consider that visual reports can be easily done and have benefits. Always if we look at we can see if we are on a positive path or not to develop our competences

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, as a remember, is

Having watched the videos it has opened up a series of questions that have been floating around our staff room regarding Peer observation and self reflection. We are in the process of moving towards peer observation mostly being dragged! This is primarily due to workloads and and lack of time not because we don't want to do it. The videos have clarified for me the fact that we as a staff need to go back to the drawing board and develop our ideas around what we are doing and why we are doing it before it will have any chance of getting off the ground. So this has been a very useful session.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a first step. Why not?

# data[].attributes.body
I I think that Teacher Menthor helps for self reflection. Reflecting helps you to develop your skills and review their effectiveness, rather than just carry on doing things as you have always done them.

# data[].attributes.body
feedback on ICT skills, what i can do better, gives me a picture of my ICT skills in my classroom, can take it again, and look at my progression and see where i can do better and how.

the weakness as the Norwegian teacher says, some of the measurement need to be more concrete and more realistic, like what i can do in "MY" classroom.

I feel, that learner-mentor is only a tool to let me as a teacher know how I am in my teachings and what skills I can use that can help me.. so its a tool for me only. To be able to have more concrete tools and ideas, I need to have this dialogue with others: other teacher in my institution and other fora, with my students and so on. then my own searching for the concrete examples.

# data[].attributes.body
it's a better thing to use the Teacher Mentor service again and again. e need to assess our improvements on a regular basis in order to re-orient and re-schedule our actions.

# data[].attributes.body
Repeating the survey from time to time give us the possibility to look back for our progression. I think this is a strong aspect of The Teacher Mentor.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been very positive about Teacher Mentor before testing it. I expected it to be sophisticated personalized testing with personal recommendations as an outcome.

I had initially intended to work with 3 chapters, but after I read the first one I decided not to go any further and stuck with "Pedagogy and ICT". I've already written my comments ( here I agree with Anders that it' s a bit perfectionistic). And from my point of view, this perfectionism is for the sake of itself. I think a teacher does not have to be "concerned with" his/her "own competence" improving it "whenever it's possible". I think that different subjects and different topics require different approaches to say nothing about pupils age. Success happens when a teacher gets an idea about how to deliver this material, he uses a suitable technology. Only this sequence, not visa versa: learning about a tool and searching where and how to use it. Undoubtedly when teachers talk to colleagues, exchange experiences and ideas - this is invaluable source.

And this course is of a great value and usefulness and thanks a lot to the organisers.

As for the Teacher Mentor, I think it should be modified, improved. It should include a set of certain standards for various levels. Assessment frame should vary on subject, age of kids taught so that teachers could be assessed in relative units, not in absolute units. I am not sure if I've managed to express exactly what I mean.

An assessment tool is a very good idea itself, but the expert system which is built inside , should be much more sophisticated and multidimensional. I am sure that participants' comments will be of a help.

# data[].attributes.body
An assessment doesn't have much sence if it will no trepet. Self -ssessment included.

# data[].attributes.body
Ask yourself: “What are my own perceptions of my teaching?”

Some easy yet consistent strategies for keeping track of your teaching are to annotate assignments, tests and class plans on an ongoing basis. This will help you keep track of things to keep and/or eliminate when you teach the class again. End-of-term summaries also help you reflect on your teaching and provide excellent fodder for the development of new classes and or improved versions of the same class.

# data[].attributes.body
It's good that all the opinions about using the Teacher Mentor are so positive.

# data[].attributes.body
It's crucial to get feedback on how to improve one's skills and teaching methods!

# data[].attributes.body
interesting tool as an assessment tool.

# data[].attributes.body
No tool is perfect, but we can contribute to improving it. In "observations" we can draw free notes and they are later analyzed and incorporated into the tool.

# data[].attributes.body
I am convinced that using teacher mentor will by some kind of "motivation booster" and will help everyone who is involved with ICT. I appreciate the fact that these teachers shared their experiences with us! We want to try it!

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Gabriela Bruno that it would be better and helpful to compare one's result with other teacher with the same-age group of pupuls and work together to improve.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very useful that the teachers can take the survey more than one times. So they can improve and retake the survey. I aggree that concrete examples would be an even better reflection tool for the teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Anders when he says one of the best things is to take the survey from time to time and see the progress we've made. However, what I think would be really helpful is to see all the other teachers with the same age-group of pupils and disciplines compared. This would allow us to see if we are to far behind and must improve right now our skills, or if we are placed in the top and so should work more with our colleagues to help them improve their skills first.

I also agree with Anders that the questions should be more concrete.

# data[].attributes.body
To my mind it is a good thing you can use the teacher mentor service.  I mean that we need to assess our improvements on a regular basis in order re-schedule our action.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, it's a good thing that you can use the Teacher Mentor service again again. In a professional lifetime, we need to assess our improvements on a regular basis in order to re-orient and re-schedule our actions.

# data[].attributes.body
It is so natural that the tool does not give detailed feedback since it gives feedback accordiing to your declarations. Of course, every tool can have shortcomings. Howeveri it still provides you opportunities to see your progress by allowing to use it more than once.

# data[].attributes.body
Many thanks to Anders Rasmussen, for his experience's sharing. Indeed, the Teacher Mentor, sets your practicein perspective and that’s what’s important.

# data[].attributes.body
I have tried the tool. Of course, visual aspect is useful, but I have found couple shortcomings. The question could be more detailed and the translation is not complete.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that Teacher Mentor can be a very useful tool for self-assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
Having a feedback and an overview of my skills and expertise is useful to improve. The Teacher Mentor clearly provides that opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
I truly like what Anders said in the end about putting ons practice in perspective. Taking the survey over and over seems very exciting and it must be wunderful to visualize ones progress so even the small steps that you do not notice yourself is visible. I would like to have a survey like that available for me.

# data[].attributes.body
By taking the survey as many times as you like and after you have followed the guidelines provided, one is able to monitor his progress and how much he/she has evolved on his/her digitals competencies. Furthermore he/she can set new goals each time and try to achieve them.
The graphics are a supplementary way that can help one with just a look to see where he/she is on a competency and where he/she needs to get to. But a more detailed description is always needed so as for one to set the goals he/she needs to achieve.

I'm not sure of any other possible advantages that this survey may have. After I have taken it I might be in a better position to discuss it.
If I understood right what Andrew said, the feedback and the guidelines that the survey gives is a general statement, and this can be very problematic, especially when there might be several possible directions that one can follow. A more concrete advice might deprive one from his freedom of choice, but on the other hand can help him/her to set his/her goals and the way he/she can reach them

# data[].attributes.body
I consider that the fact of repeating the test in different moments can be very valid in order to see our evolution in the use of new technologies.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Anders :)

It gives you criteria to reflect on and feedback that is very helpfull. And I agree with setting your paractise in perspactive.

# data[].attributes.body
The way, Teacher Mentor is made, you get an idea of, how you think you are doing yourself. I think it would be interesting either to let peers estimate your levels(!), or that the tool was based on multiple choise questions, and the result of the questions turns out in the diagrams or a level estimate.

# data[].attributes.body
I found very interesting the experience of this teacher but I have to say that I would not know how to replicate the experience in a secondary school of 13-18 years old pupils.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for sharing your experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Improving our teaching practice requires a lot of reflection. A survey or some graphics might give you a clear feedback if the goals are well defined.

# data[].attributes.body
Graphics always gives an easier way to present facts.

# data[].attributes.body
Graphics are useful but they always must be combined with a very good content.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree on the graphics as being quite helpful in giving a clear picture of where the teacher stands. And it is quite useful that you can take the survey over and again, so that you keep a constant track of your progress.

# data[].attributes.body
The outlisted skill are helpful and you get feedback on what your next goal can be. I love graphics so I find them helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
I strongly believe it gives you clear feedback to where you are and where you should go and the most important thing is that it enables you to follow your evolution by taking it several times in your process of teaching and learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Please have a look at my padlet.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Anders that some concrete examples are very useful but I think that graphics help a lot . Moreover Teacher Mentor is important for self assesment and after the feedback you can do it again . Maybe the discussion with the colleuages will help and lead to an improvment

# data[].attributes.body
I can’t say I totally agree with Anders. I don’t really think graphics are that useful; each level I reached was clear enough on what I still had to improve. And I didn't found questions that ‘superficial’, even though every document is – by definition – open to perfectioning. But, like Anders, I also think the possibility of taking the survey at different times is great. It may allow us to understand if there was any improvements made or if there is still ground to cover. As I have already mentioned, it would be very clarifying for this survey to separate the questions about 'teacher's proficiency' and 'student's involvement in IT use'.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers should worry to constantly improve their practice. If  Teacher Mentor allows the teacher to check their progress and what areas they need to improve is a big advantage. The teacher does have a tool that helps you on the path you must follow. The presentation of the results on the form of graphs is a direct way teacher understand their skills.

# data[].attributes.body
I completely agree with my colleagues. It is important to know where you stand so that you can improve.

# data[].attributes.body
The most important thing is that you get feedback and you can improve your skills and even become better :)

# data[].attributes.body
I think Teacher Mnetor is a good tool to investigate teacher's competence in TET, it hepls on thinking over our practices using technology at school. As Anders says feedback could be more accurate with more concrete examples.

# data[].attributes.body
I have to test it further in order to have a deeper review of the tool, but as noted by some colleagues tool provides a rough overview, without going into any specifics in depth.

# data[].attributes.body
It's always useful to know where you stand. It's the only way to plan your next steps. Concrete examples are always very useful for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the choices of the Teacher Mentor are useful and show us what we could do more, in addition to feedback provided by this software.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Teacher Mentor is important as a start point, but also to self assessment since it allows an analysis of the progression that was made and helps correct any defaults or needs so we can improve those aspects. If shared with peers it would be also a great improvement.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for sharing. I agree that this is helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the Teacher Mentor is useful to have a first idea of our TET practice. However, if we want to improve our TET skills, I think that we have to search for other resources and tips, as the suggestions offered by the tool are obviously quite generic (I think that they cannot be different like that)

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for your sharing your experience

# data[].attributes.body
I find more useful to become aware of the fields where improvement is needed than to receive suggestions to do this because sources for learning can be found.

# data[].attributes.body
It is helpful for me to receive such objective opinions for this survey.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the tool is pretty helpfull in our self - reflection on our ICT skills in teaching. I also like the possibility you have to go back and have a look on your progress. The graphics are always useful. I would like to have more guidelines as to what options there are out there for improving (e-learning courses available, other tools, teaching shenarios using ICT etc)

# data[].attributes.body
I think that an online self-assessment tool could be really useful for teachers, as they can use it many times and whenever they have free time. So, they have to experiment with the Teacher Mentor and get back some ideas about how to improve their digital competence. Of course the conditions vary in every country and in every school system, that' s why sometimes the feedback seems to be superficial.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this tool.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with my colleagues that the feedback from Teacher Mentor tool is not a superficial but I would expect from such a tool to be more dynamic at least for those who reach the top level. I mean that the improvement never ends and we should always try new ways to motivate our colleagues and our students to use ICT tools.

# data[].attributes.body
I also noticed that at times the items you have to choose could be different, but you have just one option. I agree with Anders that more concrete examples should be provided. For example, in my case, just in one rapport feedback, the fourth one, some useful websites are suggested to me so that I can upgrade my knowledge and thus competence.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that it is good that it is possible to pass several interviews. But I do not agree that the feedback are kind of superficial. For someone who works with the first question, it is important to identify a niche to use technology and get support and advice. For those who possess great technologies, such surveys are not needed.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the questions are too few to have a clear understanding of the situation. But it is a good starting point for reflection.

# data[].attributes.body
Major strengths: feedback, objectivity, progression monitoring, comprehensiveness and wide-raging. Main weaknesses? I have to try it first along time, I don´t think this tool is so superficial as Anders mentions.

# data[].attributes.body
The most important think on working with ICTs is that you are forced to keep learning continuously and to reflect on your own didactic practices. I think this is great!

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I agree that if some examples for each level were proposed, the tool would be even more useful.

# data[].attributes.body
i think our school system has to give more time to use ICT.

# data[].attributes.body
I've taken the demo and I was happy to find out that my levels are not so bad and ,however, I got suggestions to improve them. I, partially agree with Anders as some suggestions were practical and others superficial!

# data[].attributes.body
I'll try it!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I'm back after a bout of Flu! Anyway, the teacher was very synthetic...it seems the fault of the programme is the absence of concrete followup...it's only for personal progression check. That's quite substantial-it's up to us to find the means!

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Anders. This may be a useful tool but it be even more helpful if the feedback were more specific and deeper. The idea of trying it once and a while is interesting to check our improvements.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't tried teachermentor yet. I'll try it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Anders. This tool helps not only understand what level you are, but also to provide the next step.

# data[].attributes.body
Of course, the frequent use of the survey is of a great importance, it's the way how a teacher can get a full demonstration of his improvement. It also helps teachers to avoid the black spots and replace them with what can develop their practice at school. I do agree with Anders about the tool giving examples, because this is the way teachers can develop their competences.

# data[].attributes.body
I belive that to use the survey from time to time is very useful for getting progress . Furtermore Isuggest to define goals that are important in our work, check the goals after some time and then make new goals depending on the results. It is also very useful to  involve peers and student to evulate if you achieved the goals

# data[].attributes.body
Proverò

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't tried the tool yet, but I will in a short time. I agree with the teacher's opinion that to be able to to take the survey more than once is a plus, as you can clearly see your progress or if your steps forward are in the right direction. I am eager to try it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Anders, it's superficial. Graphics are nice.

# data[].attributes.body
it seems interesting...intriguing too. I've just done the 4 sections. Very easy to do and very helpful as in France our teaching skills are assessed but our ICt skills aren't.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems this survey is a very good and interesting tool. But I couln't insert myself in to try it. Can you help me please? How can I use it? What are the questions be in? Thak you very much.

# data[].attributes.body
I tried the tool and at first glance I like it a lot! Especially the graphics is very good as it gives a clear view of the current levels. It it also good for comparison if we use the tool in regular intervals

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it's very useful to take the survey more than once, maybe in regular intervals. I don't think it has to give us more concrete example, we can discuss the results with collegues and be more creative than a tool.

# data[].attributes.body
Pedagogy and ICT.

I find Lerner mentor a useful tool for teacher to improve our digital competence and to see the evolution.

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately, I tried to sign up on Teacher Mentor, but I can not, and so I can not try or see this tool

# data[].attributes.body
I totally agree with Anders' opinion about the Teacher Mentor

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Anders too.Tottaly agree

# data[].attributes.body
I haven´t taken the survey yet but I do agree that being able to take it more than once is a strength because you can then see your own professional progress and weaknesses. I have yet to see myself the feedback to be able to comment on it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Anders Rasmussen.

# data[].attributes.body
I totally agree that it is useful to take the survey more than once so that you can see progress. The graphics are very helpful and it is very easy to interpret them and locate weaknessess and strengths.

Another advantage is that it covers many areas of the teaching process and it is very easy to complete. The feedback would be better with more examples of how to adopt more efficient practices.

# data[].attributes.body
If the feedback is a little bit superficial I suppose it's a useful tool to assess our technological skills and to improve them thanks to the graphics which visualize our progression.

# data[].attributes.body
I imported my Teacher Mentor results in Excel. In the global graph I can identify two areas: in particular the white area represents my weaknesses. I can evaluate it in percentage comparing the two areas, blue and white. So ... I'm not so bad, but I have some work to do!

# data[].attributes.body
I think that is very useful to take the survey more than ones because on such way you can see your progression. Graphical representation is very useful as well and specially if we can compare all and new charts with our results

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. It´s very important a self-reflection and the feedback of all work realised with the students.
