This class has been very helpful to the improvement of my professional career. Mr. Wakeman is a very skilled and knowledgeable instructor who has plenty of experience. one area upon which i improved dramatically, is the use of spreadsheets. In using Microsoft Excel and Google Docs Spreadsheet, i have learned how to set up a budget sheet, a class grade book and i have also learned of the various charts involved with spreadsheets.

I have also learned about Word documents and how to set those up effectively and efficiently, this will help me to put large amounts of information together, and to make it visually stimulating and interesting. The presentation is something that I've never done until i enrolled in this class. I've learned that presentations can be the perfect tool for teaching a class or educating a business seminar.
the blogs have also helped me and i have a feeling that they will continue to help me throughout my career.

The Sky is the Limit

The podcast I viewed was “clouds in the Sky” and it was a relatively short film that is to be used to aid teachers in the classroom. There were three categories to choose from, being K-5, 6-8, or Grades 9-12. This video was found in the K-5 section and is a learning tool for youngsters to learn the importance of clouds moving. This can be the basis for getting them motivated for learning and ultimately lead to more intelligent children.

It is important for children to get exposed to as much technology as possible these days. Hopefully if we use these tools on itunesU, we will acclimate the next generation to the technology age and they will solve the problems that we have created.

This itunesU will help me and be invaluable to my progression as an educator. It will certainly help me in the teaching environment, even though I am a physical education major.

Designshare on Fischbowl

The blog 2020 vision on Designshare was fairly interesting. It was on the FischBowl blog site, and Mr. Fisch wrote it. In this blog he tells how he gets in contact with an educational architect out of Texas (Mr. Fisch is in Colorado). The architect’s name is Christian; well he read Fisch’s blog on Designshare and decides that he wanted him to make it into a presentation to show to a convention of educational architects.
This is all pretty amazing to me, and Fisch. He says it when he states that just five years ago this wouldn’t have happened, Christian never would have seen the blog, and they would not have been able to work on it together. this blog can be found here
