Hello!
Well, since my last post, I've worked on two different modules - Wiki's and Movie Making. Wiki's were very interesting to me. I can see uses for them in a classroom in that students can make comments and update documentation without having to use email. Email gets confusing when there are a lot of changes, so the wiki would be a better fit.
I really liked looking through all the different forms of technology that are available right now. Although I have to admit that it sometimes gets overwhelming when I think about incorporating all these things into my teaching. Maybe if I get an idea of each avenue, then when a certain unit is coming up, the lesson will fit naturally into one or more of the technologies. I hope I'm not to overwhelmed in that I can actually use some of these fantastic uses of technology!

October 10th Update
Hello!
This week I have spent a lot of time on my PowerPoint presentation using hyperlinks and animation. I had no idea that there was so much you could do with PowerPoint!! I'm having trouble with some of my nonlinear hyperlinks, I just can't figure out why they won't work. When I choose the page to link too, that page doesn't give me a preview. But I don't know how to fix that! Anyway, once that is complete, I will be all finished.
In one of my other classes we are going to be creating a Photo Voice presentation in PowerPoint. So this lesson has helped me already for another class! I'm excited to learn how to use technology in my lessons for students as I will be teaching Business. It's really important for me to stay up on the current technology available. I'm going to be doing my student teaching this spring, so I can't wait to see what classes I will have. I'm going to try and incorporate PowerPoint for sure.
The module on spreadsheets was basically just a review for me since I was an accountant and lived Excel for the past 15 years. But I did learn one thing new - Google Docs. I had never used them before. It's nice to know there's another option if you don't have Excel. Although Excel is so awesome, I wouldn't want to live without it!
