Technology this Week

I thought I knew quite much about spreadsheets... turns out... I was wrong about this. This week, I have been working on a spreadsheet assignment for a class, and it was a bit confusing at first, but once I got into the hang of the software, everything turned out to work smoothly. I already knew how to incorporate formulas into spreadsheets, which will greatly help with calculating grades in my future classroom. One thing I didn't know much about, which is sad to admit, was creating a graph within the spreadsheet, but I eventually figured how to create one. I also recently worked on a Digital Story, using a movie maker on my desktop. I have used this program before, and I think it would be great if students had the opportunity to create their own videos of book advertisements (almost like a commercial for a book.) There are so many ways to use technology in the classroom, and I look forward to using these programs.
