Last day of class

Today is our last day of class. I am grateful to Dr. Wang for being so patient with me. I have learned a tremendous amount. I hope to continue to use these new technology skills. I will be a better teacher if I do. I also am thankful for all of the kind people who have helped me come so far in just less than a month. Coming back to college after 27 years has been challenging. I am calling this month "Educational Boot Camp".

EDT 300

This past week we created a web page. I was able to find some neat music web sites to link to my page. I also found a web page about the symphony orchestra that was interactive.
We are on the homestretch in this class. I hope I can finish well.

Newsletter

Today we presented our newsletters. I have learned how to use Microsoft Publisher. I am glad to know how to produce a newletter. I haven't done this before.
I admire the hard work that everyone is giving in all of the Education classes that I attend.

EDT 300 Week 2

Today is Friday the 13th of June. We didn't have class today. This past week we have worked on our Unit Inrodcution. This is a Powerpoint presentation that communicates the subject matter, the state standards, the essential questions and unit questions. I think the unit summary is a vital part of the presentation.
Everyone in the class had a nice presentation. We are overcoming are weakness and gaining confidence in our projects. I am very grateful to all the kind assistance my classmates and Dr. Wang has given.
It was an interesting experience to be in the computer class when the power went out. I sat in the dark and talked to a teacher about learning objectives. Dr. Wang and I discussed the use of digital pictures in the Powerpoint presentation. We were all thankful for cell phones that provided light in order for us to see how to get out of the building. By the way, Dr Wang I don't recall that you had a cell phone to light your way back to your office. Was it creepy going to your office in the dark?

EDT 300 Entry #1


This is the first day of learning to blog. I have heard about blogs but now I will be using it in class.
Dr. Wang taught us about the history of the computer. I found it interesting. I learned that in the 1970's the computers used on college campuses were main frame computers.
