Blog 10: Technology and Me

Data Collection and Me

I think that data collection would be a good way to get to know students in the beginning of the class, as well as getting parents numbers and other important information. If I were to send out a Google Survey I would be able to compile an excel sheet with all my students information and their preferences early in the year. I would also always have access to it which would be helpful. I could see Excel being an important part of keeping grades in a orderly fashion. The excel tricks we have learned would be extremely helpful in creating and coding a grade book that would make calculating grades easier if the school does not already have one.

My Classmates and Me

 This year I have just learned about new ways to do things I have done before. I have used Prezi, PowerPoint, Canva, and other applications that my classmates have talked about but there have been a lot of new and creative things that I had never thought of. It was also interesting to learn about my classmates passions through their blogs and projects. I got ideas for classes and subjects that I wasn’t even interested in but can still find useful in the future.

The Future and ME

 At the moment I am trying to learn more about graphic design and picture editing. I will be a teacher next year but in my free time I do enjoy creating new Social media content for myself and others. I want to learn how to do more with Photoshop and illustrator so that I can create my own content . I think that these skills would be helpful in allowing me to have multiple incomes and do multiple things that I love at once. I usually use Youtube or Lynda to teach me the specific skills that I want but I have been thinking about enrolling in a class. I also ask friends for help which makes for fun and easy to learn lessons. Overall I would like to continue to learn more about technology and its different applications in my life.
