My EDM 310 Blog Assignment Complete
Finally done with all this computer stuff and folitek...so happy to be done and relax for the holidays and had fun with ya guys and hope to have more classes with ya and maybe teach in same school but take care and good luck with finals
What I learned
I learned how to use blogger and post my blogs so people can see my teaching tools and so I can use it as a resource for myself as well. Learned how to do spreadsheets and use database information on igoogle. Learned how to use the computer more for resources and reserch. I am now more computer friendly. I also learned to put up pictures and put up stuff for the blind to make more user friendly. I learned how to make podcast and use them on apple so i can make my own and upload others. Overall learned how to use computer to be a better teacher
Pluses and Minuses
First off, minus as in Folitek..hate it, but class overall is good. some more minuses was the blogs, kind of got tired of doing them and think everybody else did. A plus was that liked when we work together to do all the computer stuff and what not but worked really well. Another plus was the online help videos of the spreadsheets and database. Pretty much there was everything on how to do this and that for the class online which made it easier. Pretty much it was a plus class as long as you go to class, it is easy and just keep up with it and should get a good grade.
EDM 310 Podcast
listened to my podcast and thought it was funny and i sound funny to but it was fun and different being live and everything and anything goes. Other podcast were good too but others were boring and seemed not prepared when ran out of stuff to talk about and just sounded like robots when they read and you can tell they read when you closed your eyes and listened but its all good hopefully we all lose our nervous when we have to be infront of children as well adults.
Teacher E-mail
I actually contacted an ex-girlfriend of mine who is now a teacher of third grade and would just talk about certain stuff that goes on and responsibilities that you never could have imagined. Also it sucks buying stuff for the class cause probably wont get reimburst and teachers obviously dont make alot of money. She mostly said she learned alot when she was student teaching and nothing really truly prepares you for the situations that arise.
Blogs of other classmates
After spending a semester with my classmates and making new friends it has been nice to get to know them better by their blogs. Lookin at individual blogs, realized that people got their own writing styles and some like to write and you can tell by how long their blogs are but it was cool just to look at the power point presentaion again and that was a fun time to see other people whether they were nervous or just funny but its been interesting
ACCESS
The ACCESS lab was a pretty usual computer lab with new computers and monitors and big tvs to demonstrate how to use ACCESS. I went to Davidson High School for the trip. I talked to the teacher and the ACCESS is not currently running at full speed but will be teaching it next year. Also learned that their will be student teaching there so i might get to learn access even more and other computer technology.
