My First Post

I have used technology and computers in school, at work, and personally. I have taken a Computer Literacy course and also use word processing applications such as Microsoft Word frequently. I use the computer often to check email, check account balances via online banking, and for surfing the internet and navigating social networking sites such as myspace and facebook. At work, we often spreadsheets to manage tasks such as a attendance and roles.

I hope to learn ways to implement technology and computing into a classroom to enhance teaching activities. For student, most seem to enjoy 'hands on' activities, so computing is sure way to keep children engaged. As a future teacher, I am open to any suggestions to help keep organized, such as using spreadsheets to help organize grades, etc.

By taking the learning style assessment, I found that i am a pretty balanced learner. I have always thought of myself as a fairly visual learner thoughout school.

Jen,

Giant peaches eh?

... Would you be open to sharing what you know about Excel when it comes time to talk about that piece of software? Excel tends to be where most of the students are weak.
