Microsoft Word & Excel

Microsoft Word is an application that encompasses things such as typing a document or using Word Art  is just one of the many applications . In class we discovered the way of changing up a document adding a bold heading, adding borders and colours and many more .

Microsoft Excel was also explored from there i learn that i could use Spread Sheet to store my students grades and as an attendance sheet for my students.

This was very enlightening for me since it makes my work load easier and can store my work for future use.

Creating a Blog

Journal Entry 5:

Creating a blog was very tedious.  It was a challenge for perseverance and using all the resources around me to complete this part. Being a Digital Immigrant was maybe one of my limitations. There was also a video shown in class but within that video we saw multiple errors, such things include : the font style and size and the audio was not clear enough thus posing  a difficulty to learn. Therefore having an video which is clear both visually an audible is necessary for my students to learn.

JOURNAL ENTRY 2

This week in class I  learned how to set up an effective Power Point. We did positive criticism on each others work and saw how technology  in the classroom can be very important. The theories of learning were also discussed these were, Behaviourism,  Constructivism, Psychosocial and Cognitivism.
I really enjoyed  class and the different views we all have. We also learnt that each one of us has a different learning style.

I now present to you my presentation of learning and my future  classroom. This presentation was done using PowerPoint and Movie Maker.

This is the way I retain knowledge when being taught. It is very important to know your learning style so that you can be effective with learning.
