Before this week I had little to no knowledge about how to use Excel.  I was never taught in school how to use it, so this past module was very helpful to me.  IT taught me everything I needed to know to complete the Excel assignment.  I really like how you can add additional pages to an Excel worksheet.  It’s useful when you have a lot of varying data.  I will definitely be using this as a teacher to record grades, attendance, and other various events.  It will make my teaching career a lot easier.  Although I didn’t like how easy it was to make a mistake on Excel.  A few times I accidentally wrote in the wrong cell and it messed me up for the rest of the assignment.

After reading my classmates blogs I think that I would like to learn more about Dropbox and Scholastic Daily Stater.  They both seem like they could be very useful to a teacher.  Dropbox seems especially useful to students as well.  Its sort of like an online storage space were you can save assignments, pictures, etc.  In the future I think I would like to learn how to use SmartBoard technologies.  I think that SmartBoards will be integrated into most classrooms in the future and they are an extremely interactive way for students to learn material.  If I could get a head start on learning how to use them, it will greatly help my future classrooms.

In the future when I become a teacher I plan on staying sharp with new technology by attending various technology functions and events that teach me new skills.  There will always be classes that I can attend to further improve my skills.  In addition, I can always ask IT at my future school to help me improve my skills with the various technology and systems that my school may have.

Here is a screenshot of my Excel worksheet!
