I can't begin to tell you how much I have learned about computers this semester! I wasn't very good with word on a Mac Book before this class and the knowledge I gained through this course helped make it a lot easier to navigate on Word. I also was completely igrnorant to the use of the Excel program. Now I can do so much on it! I even created a budget chart to use at home! Believe it or not I never had to use a Power Point until this class.

I feel like my group and I put together a sufficient and fun presentation for Mrs. Kirkendoll's class. She told us what she wanted and I believe we put it together accordingly. I also believe everyone did their part in contributing to the project. we divided, conversed, and completed the project to the best of our abilities. We worked together to create a great learning tool and asset to Mrs. K's curriculum!

I don't think I really have much in common because I came in so completely unknowledgable and all of them seem to have had some type of experience with all of this before. however, I can say that our groups did their jobs and I found that every group thinks they worked together wonderfully and completed their projects.

The project is great idea. It allows us as students to see what it is going to be like to create a lesson plan for students. I think our project will be an easy way for Mrs. Kirkendoll's students to learn the parts of speech. They can have fun participating in our activities while they learn. They will want to learn because it will help them win the Jeopardy game a the end of our lesson.

I contributed to our project by driving Ariel and myself to meet Mrs. Kirkendoll at Fairview Middle School to discuss our project. I showed her some research I had done on the internet that she might be able to use as a class participation activity on the parts of speech. We found out what she wanted us to do and I am going to create a paragraph for each section of our power point.

I learned what Mrs. Kirkendoll wants us to do for her and her students. We figured out what we are going to do to present all of the information about the parts of speech to her 6th grade honors class.

This website is a great academic source. I use it a lot in my English class and also with many other classes in which one would use MLA writing format. This site creates correct citations such as bibliographies. Find the type of source you use, click it, type in all the information that is available to you about that source and it makes you a correct citation in MLA format.

As a high school P.E. teacher I know I will be using the Excel program a lot. They are great for creating charts. I would be able to type up a nutrition chart so that students can monitor what they eat, how much they eat, and what they should be eating. They can use their charts to create a graph of their weight, height, and BMI and turn it in as a project. I will also be using Excel spread sheets as a teacher to calculate grades and keep attendance for my students.

I am currently using Excel in a school situation that is a great example. In my Biology Lab we have been recording the growth and flowering of plants. I have to use excel to record all of my data and I'm also using it to create a line graph of my data that I have collected. I am doing the entire project using Excel.
