Google Part Two

What?
This week we learned more about Google and how to use the online programs. We were assigned to create a presentation with our partner of classroom rules. It was quite fun picking out the backgrounds.

So What?
Being able to use this information and programs in my life will make it so much easier. I have found already that I do not have to worry about making sure they are saved on a portable device to take with me. I love the fact that they automatically save so that is one less thing that I have to worry about. I am still getting used to the fact that it doesn't always to what I want it to do.

Being able to learn this now will help me in the future with homework and in my professional life. I will be able to colloborate with other students when assigned to do group work without having to take the time to meet together and discuss what to do. Being able to save time will help me out a lot.

Now What?
I will be able to use this information for my future classroom to store presentations for students, lesson plans, fun projects, etc. I will be able to keep the information I need for my lessons and be able to change them when needed. The information that I have ever used before will be stored and I will be able to look it up if needed. My students and their parents will be able to send me messages. Parents involved with my class will be able to sent me bulletins, newsletters, etc. for me to approve without having to waste paper if it needs to be revised.

I will be able to use these programs with my collegues to pass around lesson plans that work and tweak them to fit their own classrooms. I loved finding the different backgrounds for this week homework assignment and making them interesting to children. One of my goals for my future students is to make learning fun. I hope by being able to use these programs that I will have a larger variety to choose from.

Video Reflection
The video this week was very interesting. It was amazing to see the perspective of a teenage boy who wants to go to college and why. I liked the examples he used of other successful directore in Hollywood and how they went to college. He is absolutely right about all of it. The only way to have a good job now-a-days is to have a bachelors degree of some form or another.
