The PowerPoint interaction assignment really gave me new skills when using PowerPoint. Because of this assignment, I now know how to properly use action buttons. What I liked about this assignment is that we could format the PowerPoint in a way that resembled a game of jeapordy. There was not anything specific I did not like about this assignment. I hope to incorporate jeapordy games in my classroom.
As a teacher, using data collection tools can be really helpful when it comes to measuring understanding. In my high school history classroom, I plan to make online survey after each chapter that each student wil have to opportunity to take. The survey will ask what level of understanding the students feel they have achieved regarding the chapter. This will allow me to better identify student's weaknesses and strengths.
What I found most interesting when reviewing my classmates blog was the design of their blogs. My blog design looks very trivial compared to theirs. Their background complements their headings and each post is written clearly. Their blog show a distinct demonstration of the CRAP principles we learned in class.
A technology related skill I would like to learn next is how to effectively type. Most of the teacher's I've had in the past have the ability to type fast without typing errors. Perhaps I need to take a typing class that would help me better hone my typing skills. Being able to type fast will allow me to send emails quickly.
As stated before, I may look to take more classes here at FSU about technology. Furthermore, I may seek to be certified in adobe products like Photoshop or Dreamweaver. Knowledge in both of these areas would allow me to led a helping hand to my students when they have to create projects. Being up to date with technology will help me to use tools in the classroom that my students are use to using.
