Blog #9 Using web-based resources

I know i have already blogged about this website but as a future educator any program i will be using will definetly be web-based in today's fast paced and technological environment the internet is the best and most modern tool. It is kept updated and is for the most part the most reliable and quickest resource out there. i would definelty use the math website created by James woodland of FSU's math department. It includes many programs for practice as well as programs that explain the material so you get a much better understanding of the subject matter. this website has helped me through 3 math courses at FSU and i dont think i would of done any where as well as i did withouth this useful web-based tool. I will definetly be using this website if i am a math teacher in the future. www.math.fsu.edu/~woodland is the link to this awesome website. As a teacher i will definetly be using excel, it is extremely useful and you can insert formulas so if a incorret value or letter is entered into the box it shows up bold and red which is an immediate indicator and the student will be forced to go back and correct it becaue it will be so distracting. I will definetly be using powerpoint and word to create quizzes and tests for my classes, if it is an inclass quiz i will probably use powerpoint and if they select the wrong answer a slide comes up notifing the student they are wrong and they will have to go back and do the problem until they get the answer correct. My area of expertise would be highschool history or geography so i can include facts and pictures about the subject matter along the way of the lesson plan/scheduale.
