Post Number 10

I think what a lot of people liked the most was the presentation software, such as PowerPoint. I believe this is because it provides a fun and interactive way of teaching and students enjoy it. I also noticed that some people mentioned that they had trouble using Windows because they use Apple computers. I have always been a Windows user, but I can see where there could be problems for those not used to it, because I feel like a fish out of water when I try using an Apple computer. I hope that my classmates have enjoyed what they learned in this class. I know I did.

I would like to learn how to build my own webpage. I know that there are sites to help you build your own, but I would like to be able to actually make my own without one of those sites. I liked when my teachers in high school had website posting assignments, homework, and extra credit opprtunities. I would like to give my kids the same opportunities to access assignments from home if they are sick or miss class for any reason so they don't get behind. I would just like to be able to personalize it my way without the constraints of a website builder.

I hope to be able to use PowerPoint presentations in my classroom teaching, and I think this is a pretty attainable goal because many schools have the technological capabilities. I will probably end up using one of those website builder sites rather than making my own webpage, but that's ok. However, if I am able to take a class that teaches me how to make my own page, then I will take it! I think that, when used correctly, technology can really enhance education and engage the learner!
