In the future, I think I will be using data collection in Excel to organize the grades for my students. This tool includes many functions that make keeping the grades together and correct for multiple assignments all in one place. By doing this it will give me a better understanding of where each student is in mastering certain subjects and how the class as a whole is doing. I want to be a teacher in elementary so this could still be applied to all subjects for various homework assignments that they will be expected to complete as well as their tests and quizzes. This tool would also allow me to have a chart of each individuals progress to discuss with parents if necessary.
Some topics that were interesting to me to review from my classmate's blogs were the ILP 1 because it was more open ended and people chose to do different things for their assignment. It allowed me to view how they were feeling on the tools that I did not choose and gain a perspective from it. As I used Lynda for the first one I was interested in learning about the ones that I thought about and may even use in the future.
A technology-related skill that I would like to learn next is actually using the projectors to present. I have always seen my teachers use them and very smoothly transition them from screen to smartboards and all the other things that can be done with them but as far as writing on them I have no knowledge on this. This is an important tool in teaching as technology continues to advance so I feel it would benefit me to understand this. One way I could learn more about it would be going to the tech sandbox in the education building. I remember seeing them during the field trip but again never used it myself but I know that would be a great resource if I was looking to get more practice in using these tools.
