I found it interesting that most students have a good understanding of technology already. I understand that a class in very important to introduce the teaching aspects of technology but maybe shouldn't be a requirement for students who could ace every test without even studying once. Most students seemed to keep an open mind though and still do the required work.
The next two questions i have already answered in my previous blog. I will just talk about whats going on this last week.
So Dallas beat the packers last night and i was pretty upset i really really don't like Dallas I'm saying there without a doubt my least favorite team in the NFL and Bret Farve come on now whats not to like about him, hes old as hell but still can play. So im kinda glad this class is over, it was fun but im just excited to go home for break and do nothing for about 3 weeks. Then its back down to Tally for practice and rehab and class everyday. But i might continue this blog why? i dont know if im ever bored....

number almost done 9
I found a website thats is very helpful with resources for teachers. Oddly enough i typed in teaching resources on Google and this is what i found. http://www.trcabc.com/ its a website that has so many different tools to help teachers in their everyday classroom.
I feel like i will use power point the most when I'm teaching. its a great way to show certain topics that I'm discussing. No student is the same and none of them learn the same and power point is a great way to help the different learners learn at the same time.
I think i would like to learn who to create a website. Its always something i have wanted to do but never quite knew how to start and maintain a website. I wanted to start one after my best friend died of cancer last year and use it to reach out to others and help collect donations for his cause. If anyone is actually reading this and has any clue please shoot me an email. I would still be interested in creating one.
I feel that im pretty set for my future educational technology-related goals. I know how to do pretty much everything that teachers do now a days. There are a few things that i can work on though so i am better then the average teacher. And with a world thats advancing like it is I'm pretty sure i will some day be one of those teachers that has no idea whats going on with technology.

The 8TH
Chapter 8 was all about computer security and viruses. BORING... it included topics including virus detection and removal, hardware theft and vandalism and how to back up your computer. I think people who mess all this stuff up and comit computer fraud should just caught and strangled with computer wires... ok maybe thats a little harsh but something close to that...
I thought the games on PowerPoint were cool, I never knew that you could make them like that and i see myself creating a game like that for my students in the future. It was really easy to you just had to know a little bit about what you were doing...
SO, this week has been crummy, Ive had this little sniffle all week and im trying to get over it and i went home last weekend and forgot my phone so i feel so lost without it, its a pain because i have practice and lifting everyday at different times most days and i have to just go over my friends to find out what time everything is. How about that win over boston college that was awesome, but ruining my good weekend the eagles lost to dallas, i hate dallas and T.O. lets not get started on him because im pretty sure im not allowed to curse in this posting thing... but over all it was a good weekend, im not sure what else i have to do for this class so i went online and just posted like 16 comments thinking that will cover me for the rest of the semester? oh well but i think we have the skill check for power point and i did the prac test and then we have those dumb other post for that one lady who couldnt breathe. ALrightlater

Chapter 6 talks about technology and curriculum integration. Before i even read the chapter (which i prob wont) i can imagine this chapter has to do with incorporating technology into schools and getting it in the classroom to help students. Personally i think technology has endless possibilities in the classroom. In high school we used this one smart board that allowed the teacher to write on it and it would go onto the computer and all this nice stuff but she never used it, she only wrote on the board with dry-erase markers... It seems like some of the older teachers will have to start dying off to get technology into the classrooms... Just kidding maybe retire.
As far as learning new things since the last class not much. This class is some what the same information i already took in cgs2060 but my advisor was dumb and he isnt my advisor anymore.
Eagles had the weekend off so no dissapointing loss to report. Went to the football game with the family and it was fun except for when they told us to leave and then started the game up once we left but oh well. My post might get longer because i put up a hammock out back of my house so i sit out here for hours and just relax. Note to anyone whos a little stressed, a hammock solves everything. Is there anyone else who can not be here for the day before thanksgiving class? i have a doctors appt that tues and i cant be here and i hope she doesnt make a big deal out of it... oh well bye

Postage #4
Chapter 5 had all kinds of boring stuff in it. The internet has become the best thing since sliced bread. And internet has changed the way people live. Internet in classrooms can only help aid children with learning and it will really help teachers teach. The internet also has its downsides with plenty of ways young adults and children can get into trouble or view the wrong things.
Not many new skills this week. Looking stuff up on the internet today in class was boring, seriously who doesnt know how to use google? if you dont please raise your hand and i will step on your foot...
This dumb SAM microsoft word practice test thing is the worst. Im pretty good at word and this is difficult but i dont know that its me getting the questions wrong its that sam makes you do it the way that no one ever does.. I cant wait for this class to be over because im burning my CD and then throwing the ashes over a cliff. Since i just wrote my last post i have nothing new to share so i will jsut make something up. Today when i looked up Lincoln i found a picture of a monkey, that was a little wierd but oh well im late for practice so this is all you get this week.

In chapter 4 there are topics like the components of the system unit, input devices, output devices and other stuff like that. The components of the system unit is very interesting because its neat to see the inside of the machine and how all the different things work together to perform a task. The input devices are neat because thats what we actually do to make the system work. Output devices like printers are an essential to computers. And storage has come a long way since floppy disks.
I learned a few new things about the inside components of the computer and the different ways they interact. Some components carry out only one task while others do numerious. The input devices are very interesting and it was very cool to learn how storage devices have evolved since the floppy disk.
I went home this weekend and if your unaware home is PA and a pain in the butt. If i fly out of tallahassee its twice as much and i have to make a stop in NC. So i drive to jacksonville and fly out of there. So i left friday morning, my flight leaving at 7:30AM i had to leave tally by 3:00 AM. It was nice driving all alone on 10 but was very boring. When i was home i went to a Philadelphia Eagles game and we won 56-21 over the Detriot Lions. It was very awesome because i was about 3 rows from the field and so close to the players i could almost touch them. It was also nice to be home for the weekend to enjoy all the foods from up north you wierd southerners dont have down here. Also on the southern note it was nice not to hear y'all and the rest of the goofy words you people say down here. I did catch myself say yall once while home and wanted to wash my mouth out with soap. So i survived the trip back and now im stuck in this town till thanksgiving.

In chapter three i learned about application software. application software consist of programs designed to perform specific tasks for users. Application software can be used as a business tool , to support school activities and at home activities. Application software is so helpful.
I learned how to use application software and explored its many advantages. I learned about a few types of application software categories including productivity business and school. The school category included many things that were interesting for a teacher like grade book and note taking.
So how come in florida it rains all the time and is called the sunshine state? Im from Pa and i think it rains more there. Today i looked out the window right before class and it looked sunny with few clouds then 5 min later i get on my scooter for the 2 min ride to class and it starts pouring.... Then when i get to the building there working on the front parking lot... What is up with that this school is always working on stuff, so while its pouring i have to find a new place to park and i have no idea where there is any parking for scooters near stone except the spot right in front so im driving around exploring in the pouring rain. It was not the greatest day...
