Blogging is something that is very new to me. I found it interesting when reading classmates blogs because I think for most of us felt the same about certain issuses. This might because we are all mostly around the same age and probably have similar interests since we are in related majors. Many of my classmates knew a good bit about technology from this class however most agreed that they learned more. Also I think many of them were grateful for what we use cause everyone knows how important technology is becoming.
The next technology related skill that I would like to learn next would probably be related to powerpoint. Even though I feel like I know a great deal about powerpoint, I think that there is still alot that I dont know. I feel that this class got me used to the things i was unfamiliar with, but theres still so many things that you can do to make them more creative.
Some ways that I plan on acheiving my future educational goals would be to keep practicing the technology skills that I know now. In order to get better at something you have to practice it. This is especially true with technology because I feel like it is pointless to study certain things. Also one of my goals is to have my kids have good computer skills at a young age. This is something that my dad made sure me and my brother had. He made sure to introduce it to us when he first learned and i am grateful for that.

Blog # 9
The website that I found that is very useful is ttp://www.schoolexpress.com/
This is a website that offers a variety of resources for teachers to use in there classrooms. This websites has a variety of things such as, worksheets, software programs, online books and other sites that teachers can use. It is helful because if you cant always think of something to do, then you could the website for ideas. Also, if you arent the most creative person, it offers helful tips.
Some of the other websites that my classmates used are very similar to this one. Some of them are more geared toward a certain subject. One of my classmates used a website that even gave ideas for buliten boards, and offered ideas for all grade levels. Sometimes people only offer help for the higher grades, but since I plan on teaching younger kids this stuff doesnt really pertain to me.
I think that the technology that I would like to learn about next would be Excel. We covered this in class, but it has never been something that I am familiar with. Even though we had practice on it, I would like to study it more and get better adjusted to it. This is because I think that this could be especially useful in a classroom. Many teachers use this for grading purposes and I think that by the time I become a teacher everyone will be using this for grading.
I think that one way I will reach my future technology related education goals would be to make sure that technology is greatly integrated into my future teaching plans. I think that it has become so important that not only should I use it to my full advantage, I should make sure that my students understand it and are able to use it for themselves.
