Excelin'. . .

Today we learned how to design spreadsheets on excel. I remember learning about excel and making spreadsheets in my high school computer classes, so I was somewhat familiar with the program.

Knowing and understanding excel is so important for teachers. It is a way to keep them organized in so many different areas of teaching. You can use spreadsheets for grades, attendance, quizzes, math assignments, keeping track of who is making improvements, and so much more! I had a lot of fun experimenting with excel again and I definitely think it is a resource that will come in handy in the future :)

My New Inspiration...!

So it is almost fall break, and I am ready for it! I really enjoyed learning how to use Inspiration and make graphic organizers. This program seems to be very beneficial especially with the younger grades when teaching pretty much any lesson! I am a very organized person so I know inspiration will be something that I use a lot in my own classroom!

I am really enjoying our class each week and I feel like I am gaining so much knowledge on things I've never known before. I know I am getting hands-on experience with resources and technology that I can use all throughout my career. I am excited for what is still to come in our class and I look forward to learning more and more about technological resources that I can integrate into my classroom!

IMovies!

Today I had a lot of fun leaning about IMovie and watching the different video clips you have created. I love doing stuff like this and it was great to become familiar with a new program to create projects like these. Using IMovie can be a creative way to show parents what we do in the classroom by creating a personalized movie. Putting together a video clip at the end of the year is a great way to remember your students that year! I know I will definitely be using IMovie in the future and I look forward to it :)

Scavenger Hunt and Digiting Imaging....OH MY!

The past 2 classes on digital imaging have been so helpful and fun. The scanvenger hunt and powerpoint has by far been the most fun activity. I really enjoyed working with my team to complete it! It was a great way for us to learn about digital imaging and it was also an opportunity for us to learn and understandmore about how we can bring digital imaging into the classroom. I am finally becoming a lot more comfortable with all these technological resources. I am not going to lie, the first day of class was a little overwhelming for me but I am enjoying this class and the things we are leaning each week! I hope we get to do more with digital imaging and I cannot wait to integrate it into my own classroom :)
