Blog Post #10

     In my future career as a teacher, I can see myself using excel to help me in my classroom. I feel like I will mainly use the tool for keeping tracks of grades, but that alone will be a big help. It will compute and record the grades for me, while allowing me to save it all in one location. I can see myself using surveys to find out more about my students and how to improve my teaching. By improving my teaching, it will hopefully improve their experience in my classroom. 

     Through reviewing the blogs of my classmates, I really liked finding out about how everyone will apply tools differently in the classroom. I loved how people shared their ideas of using things such as Pinterest to benefit their classroom one day. By getting to see all the different ideas and opinions, I think it has broadened my view on the accessible tools I already have to help in the classroom. I've enjoyed being able to recognize new possible techniques and learn from the ideas of my classmates. 

     The next technological skill I want to learn is how to do even more on excel. We have started to learn about it in class, but I know I can expand my knowledge even more. Excel has always been the program I've struggled with the most and I feel that my struggle leaves me with a lot of room for improvement. So many people find excel to be useful, and I would like to know as many handy tools for using it as I can. The more I know, the better I feel I will be able to instruct my students.
