Class Update

Since my last blog I have worked with using more technology that I will be able to use in the classroom. I am now familiar with a program called Kidspiration and using spreadsheets in Google docs. Kidspiration has many useful tools in it to organize and make lessons. They had many tools specifically for math lessons that I could definitely see myself using in the classroom. Google doc spreadsheets are a useful tool in the classroom and were very easy to work with thanks to my experience with Microsoft excel. Our assignment was to use the spreadsheet as a grade book, but it also has many other uses especially math related. You can build graphs right into the spreadsheet and assign the spreadsheet to execute formulas for you.
In my class there are a lot of tools coming up that I have never heard of, so I am looking forward to what I can learn and use when I am a teacher.
