Blog Journal 10

1. I will use data collection a lot when I become a teacher.  Surveys are a great thing to give students and maybe even their parents in the classroom.  They can help give you feedback on things to improve in the classroom and things that were effective and people liked.  This would be good to use for parents of students for me, as I plan to teach elementary school.  However, parents will be able to give me feedback on homework and how things are done in the classroom and communicated to them.  In addition to this, excel is a great tool to use.  It can do things like calculate the class average on a test for you, so you don't have to.  This can show if the test you gave was too hard or too easy, etc.

2. From reviewing my classmate's blogs, I was able to learn additional information on the lessons we had in class and other assignments.  This was very helpful at times for me if I did not quite understand something, through reading my classmate's posts I was able to reiterate what it was that I was learning.  In addition to this, I found it very interesting to read other people's opinions on things we did in class throughout the year.  Also, how they did some of their projects and how each of us had our own creative spin on projects that were assigned to us in class.

3.  I would really like to learn how to properly use Excel.  I think it has so many functions that can be so helpful to teachers.  However, I have no idea how to use it.  I hope to learn some ways that I can take advantage of Excel.  I will do this by listening in class as well as watching youtube videos on how to use functions in Excel.  If I need it for something specific in the future I will look up a tutorial on it.
