#10 The Finale

I think as a teacher I will use data collection to get a feel for how my students grasp certain concepts. With excel I can easily make a grade book to keep track of the assignments and other scores. The subject matter would most likely be high school math so having surveys to see how the class understands the basics will give me a good understanding on what kind of pace I can take with the class.

I believe the most interesting topics when reviewing everyone's blogs was getting to see the different independent learning projects. Everyone's projects were always different and that is something refreshing to see. Opposed to seeing 13 different powerpoint projects on the same material.

I think the next technology-related skill I will try to learn is coding. It's something I've never really tried and could always see if I'm capable. Life is about challenges so why not see if I'm up for the challenge. To achieve this goal I can always look up youtube videos or ask my friends on how to code in the one of the many coding languages.

#9 Powerpoint!

The first powerpoint assignment the one thing I did like was being able to discuss ancient Rome. My least favorite part of that assignment was recording my voice. My dog tends to bark a ton so it made recording things difficult. I also hate recording my voice.

The second powerpoint assignment was pretty entertaining. I like getting to make things from a template rather than coming up with something on my own since I lack creativity. The thing I disliked was having to change around the timings on the animations and progress the powerpoint forward.
