Teacher Productivity Tools

What did you learn today through your individual efforts?
Today I learned more about how great of a tool Microsoft software can be. They provide many different resources to help teachers create their lessons such as PowerPoint. Microsoft software is also available for free to the majority of faculty members so it is a great tool to use!

What did you learn today viewing the bookmarks and annotations of others?
I learned of many new tools through viewing my classmates bookmarks and annotations. One of the new tools I learned was Dojo. Dojo is a great tool to use for behavior in the classroom. It lets you stay in contact with parents, and monitor a childs' behavior. This I could find to be very helpful in my classroom and I could see myself using Dojo when I am a teacher.

     I use technology very often and am usually very successful. I've been using technology since I was a child and it is now part of my everyday life. Being a college student I use my computer frequently to complete and upload assignments. Also, I use my phone daily to connect with my friends and coworkers. Technology so far has been very helpful in my daily life.      Being in this class, I hope to learn more about how to operate computers as well as how to use some of the applications available to me. Hopefully by the end of this course, I will be able to quickly and efficiently work my way around technology.  I also hope to be able to have the skills to help others with their technology problems if needed.
