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!
