Education Standards Met

This is a link to the education standards and how I fulfilled them.

Multimedia Project: Windows Movie Maker

Windows Movie Maker

This program allows you to quickly and easily put movie clips and picture files together with sound to create a video. As a teacher you could use this program to make a slide show of student pictures to learn their names. You could also have students use the program to create multimedia projects. This is an excellent program for students because it is easy to learn.

Analyzing Student Data in a Spreadsheet

This assignment would have been very quick and easy for me using excel. Having to use google sheets was a little more difficult. The simplified features of google made it a little more difficult. Typically I would have sorted the data by average test score and then graphed the scores below the average by selecting that data. In google I had to just delete the scores I didn't want. It is nice to have google host the files for you, however, the features of excel make it a better, easier product to use for someone who has worked with the program.

Google docs had an error when I duplicated sheets. The formulas were messed up and I had to fix them.

This is my finished presentation.


Looking at the below average scores upward trend shows that these students all progressively improved on the test. In general each student increased their score each consecutive test. The increase of test scores over time shows that the teacher's methods worked well to help the below average students. The following are the test scores of these individuals.

skype

Skype is not difficult to use. Sign up was easy. However, the file download was a little large. It's too bad this is a program and not a web 2.0 application. That is a big down side. Skype is good for calling others who have skype that are long distance, so you don't have to pay any long distance fees. I'm not sure how I would incorporate it's use into a classroom. I think this may primarily be a program for personal use.

Web2.0 tool demo

Jennifer and I chose to explore delicious.com further for our presentation. Delicious is an excellent site for those who can't remember the urls of sites they may need. I'm starting to use it myself. In the presentation we explain what delicious.com can do and how it can be used by teacher in the class room.
