#10 Excel: The final member of the Holy Trinity of Microsoft Office

I will use the data I collect from the survey to discover what the BEST restaurant is in Tallahassee is. I Believe this is a valuable tool to find out students opinions, interests, and ways of learning. For example, I could give a survey to my class and ask them what activity is their favorite when learning how to construct sentences. By gathering this information I could transform my teaching to fit their needs and preference. Hopefully if you were to get a snapshot of my life in 5 years I will be in a 3rd grade classroom playing a math and reading game and having the time of my life. I will be using all of these tools and more and I couldn't be more thankful to have the chance to discover more about Ed Tech.

Before this class I was not a particular fan of blogs and blogging and I never would know what to say or do, and after this class and discovering the world of blogging. I love being able to put my own voice in my writing and seeing peoples honest opinions about topics and tools. I understand about viewing and valuing other prospective teachers opinions and ways of thinking. It is a good tool I will definitely be using in my teaching career. The internet is our new way of sharing ideas and blogs are the perfect way to do so. I enjoyed using twitter, slide share and Edmodo the most. My favorite blog post was probably about our projects like PPT's and newsletters. Seeing classmates work and reading about their process and seeing screenshots.

EXCEL. Is an old enemy of mine. We had a rough start CHM 1045 ( Chemistry 1 for majors) and our first date consisted of me crying on my laptop while I dropped the class. NOW Excel is treating me a little better. I am now starting to understand all of it's capabilities and tools it has that can help me in the future. I have never taken CGS so I feel like I really needed this information. Along with PPT and Word Excel finishes off the holy Trinity of Microsoft Office. Now I love Excel and I think we are going to live a long happy life together.
