#10 - I guess all things do come to an end :/

I hope to teach either 2nd grade or 4th grade one day and I think I will use Data Collection regarding scores in reading and math. I know that schools sometimes require teachers to record their students reading scores so that they can be placed in a certain reading level. I would hope to collect this data in order to track the students progress regarding reading comprehension. Collecting data for mathematics may be harder to track, but I would use that data to track not only the students progress, but potential weaknesses in different areas of math. Doing this will help me when working one on one with the students and when giving them extra problems to work on.

While taking Intro to Educational Technology, we as a class have had to read and respond to each others blog posts each week. I enjoyed doing this because I was able to get a different perspective on the different topics that we were reviewing for class that day. I always enjoyed feedback from other students, whether it was positive or not! I found it interesting how everyone put their own twist into the design of the layout of their blogs. Lastly, I really loved seeing the different things we learned to do in class, laid out in each of the blogs.

The next technology-related skill that I would like to learn wouldn't necessarily be a new skill but to learn how to refine this skill: Photoshop. In my weebly website I had mentioned that I really enjoy photography and taking pictures. I currently have minimal prior knowledge regarding Photoshop, but I hope to master this technology-related skill one day. After doing my first ILP on Lynda.com, I decided to browse the website for any Photoshop tutorials and I found several. I know when the time comes when I need to learn how to use Photoshop more efficiently, I will use Lynda.com to refine those skills.
