microsoft access

This project uses the nets.t standards 1, 2 and 5. These are used because it gives a different way for learning and assessment for the teachers and students. It also uses creativity and new design ways. This project has taught me how to create a dadtbase. Before doing this I had no idea what microsoft access was and how it was used, but know I know how to create quetions and answers on a new type of program.

Google Earth

This activity has taught me a lot about how to use google earth. Before using this I only knew how to find a certain place, but I never knew half of the things I now know. I learned that you could explore the ocean and animals that live there, also explore shipwrecks. Not only can you explore the ocean but there are options to add 3-D buildings when looking in a certain town or area. This project has used the nets.t standards 3 and 4. This is because it helps to show that I am capable of learning new technologies and using them in relevant ways. Also it is expanding my knoledge of thw world and what it looks like in other areas of the world.

powerpoint reflection

From this project I have learned many different things. Before this I only knew how to make a powerpoint with information with standard effects. Now I know how to create a more interactive powerpoint that when I am going to be teaching I will be able to get my students more involoved. This will hopefully make the students want to learn the information more or they will actually be interested into what is going on. This has given me now an alternative way to teach a lesson that will not be so boring.

powerpoint

This uses nets.t standards 1,2,3 and 5 because it provides a hands on method for students to learn and it also shows that I can uses different technologies than I could originally could and shows adaptions to new ways of teaching.

game evaluation

This assignment uses nets.t standards 1 and 3 because it is showing a new way of learning the informaton that was meant to be learned. Also it shows that the teacher can incorporate technology into the lesson that they understand.

Reflection for Excel Assignment

This assignment has taught me how to use Excel properly. Before this project I did not know how to really use Excel, but now I know how to make different types of charts and spread sheets. In the future for my classroom I can use this for keeping tracks of grades and averages. The Nets.t that are used in this would be 2 and 3.

Lemonade Stand

Excel Assignment

Predictions:
Colors expected to find: Blue, Brown, Green, Orange, Red, Yellow
I don’t think that bags of equal weight have the same amount of pieces of candy in them.
I think that there will be more of certain colors than others. The color with the most I think is orange.

Data Interpretation:
Some colors are more numerous than others
All of the bags do not have the same amount of candies.

project 1 reflection

This project has taught me a lot. One thing was how to create a test on my own. It may not have been a difficult test paper or even that long, but it was difficult to come up with a topic and questions that went along with that topic. I also learned about making images on microsoft word when before this project I didn't know how to. This is going to help me in the future because it has given me some experiance in creating a test and what I will have to do on a daily basis. The NETS.T standards that this project indentified was: Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity and Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments.

test paper

NETS standards

1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
I would rate myself 3 because I want to use both technology and face-to-face learning when i become a teacher. I also know that I will encourage my students to do their best and to learn not only from books but from real life experiances.
2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
I would rate myself a 3 because I know that as a teacher I would be able to create a new way to learn something for my students and incorporate technology into whatever activity it is that i do.
3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
I would rate myself a 4 for this because I am able to learn new technologies and new programs fairly easily, which will also help for me to give out newer information to my students.
4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
I would rate myslef 4 for this because I can properly show how to cite your work that you find and respect the copyright rules, also I can show how to be safe while using digital information and technology.
5. Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership
I would rate myself a 4 in this because as a teacher I know that I will be involved in the community and I will want to always improve my teaching ability.

teaching philosophy

To me teaching has not always been my main career goal. I have gone through many different phases where I change my mind. But the one thing I seem to always end up going back to is being a teacher. It doesn’t matter to me what subject I am teaching it is just that I would like to have the opportunity to try it. I know that I would regret never trying it out and if I keep changing my mind and ending up back with this career choice than it is clearly for a reason. I have always been able to help out with people I know when they have had problems with certain classes work, and I have tutored before. When I tutored one girl I was able to help her raise her grade from a 70 to a 90. Just being able to help her do that made me feel good about myself.

I see the use of technology in classrooms as an aide to the teacher. The technology should not be how students are learning, it should be a way for the teacher to clarify or get a point across to the students. It is very important to use technology in the classrooms though. If you look into today’s society, everything incorporates some sort of technology, whether it is computers, or cars, even the phones everyone is using. It is very important that students know how to use these things we are given. Not only should they know how to use them, but by having technology in the classroom, like PowerPoint for example, a teacher can give a presentation more clearly than before and use clips or pictures that he/ she may not have been able to use before. My goal when becoming a teacher is to hopefully bring technology into my lessons as a way for me to help my students understand things and have a more interesting way to learn them.
