Blog Journal 10

Some ways that I feel I will use data collection is if I ever need to take a survey of what the class may want to do with certain things and if I ever need the parents opinion on certain matters. Since I would like to teach the first grade some reason that I may survey the students is to find out what game they may want to play outside during recess. It could be kickball, free play, etc. I could also survey them on what activities they liked more than the other to better help my teaching. Some reasons I may survey parents is to hear about how they feel about my communication and if I need to increase or decrease it.

Some topics that I felt interesting while looking through my classmates blogs was some of their opinions on how they would use certain tools as a teacher. I have noticed that many would use educational games to help their students learn. I too feel that I will use educational games because it is a fun way for students to learn. People have also talked about how they may create websites so that parents and students can find information easily. After reading through some blogs, I feel that many people enjoy what they have learned and will most likely use them when they become teachers.

A technology skill that I will like to learn next is how to properly use an interactive board and projectors. Although I have seen many teachers use them, I myself have never actually been in control of one. I would like to learn all the different features that the interactive boards and projectors have. I feel that many elementary school teachers use these technologies, which is why it is something that I would like to learn more about. Once I learn more about it I may be more confident being able to teach a class because I won't have to worry about focusing on how the technology works. Some ways that I can achieve this goal is by going to the sandbox and learning more about the features that the board and projectors have.
