Assignment 4 Reflection

The skills I learned completing this assignment I can see myself using when I become a teacher and have my own classroom. Out of all the other assignment this one seems to be the most basic yet the most useful. I learned a lot about programs that I use on a daily basis that I never knew before.

For Excel I will definitely keep in mind using a spreadsheet versus a normal grade book, especially if I have access to a computer at all time. It saves a lot of my time in doing the calculations on its own. As well as being able to keep all the students names in order.

I learned the most in PowerPoint I have been taught how to giver presentations in a million different ways from using mainly pictures to have words on the slides. What I like best about this assignment is that it taught me multiple skills that I can decide to use during my presentation. My favorite feature is the hidden slide feature. It is something new that I learned and something I feel is extremely beneficial. It allows you to be flexible with both the information and timing of your presentation.

Overall I would say that this assignment was a success in teaching me new skills in technology and how they could be used in the classroom on a day to day basis. Enhancing both my students learning and making my job as a teacher a bit easier.

Assignment 3

            Creating my own homepage has definitely been interesting! It was a lot of hard work and time put into it. I had to learn a lot of new skills that if it was not for this assignment I probably would have never learned. If I ever had to make a homepage for my classroom or something related to my school I would most likely use Kompozer. These skills were easy enough that even if it’s a couple of years from now I will probably still be able to figure everything out.
             A skill that I will without a doubt use as a teacher is the "filling system" connected with make this homepage work. Many times students and probably teachers just save things on their computer without any type of organization. I now know better. It makes it a lot easier to find things if everything has its own file and folder.
