Using MS Word

I have personally had alot of previous experience with all microsoft office products and Microsoft word is the one i have spent the most time. It is a very useful tool that can make anything from doing a flyer or invitation to writing a research paper for an english class. All of the teachers i have had up to this point have all been very savy with using powerpoint and projectors so i have also been exposed on the usefullness of it from the teaching prospective.
I would like to take out from this class all the stkills necessary to be completely effecient when using any program associated with Microsoft word. It would be very useful for me to use if and when i become a teacher i hope it will be a good way to display information and make it easy and fun for them to learn.

I personally believe that technology and the classroom if used correctly can exponentially increase the amount of knowledge that can be consumed by the students but also be taught more efficiently by the teacher or professor. I have personally had a lot of hands-on-experience with technology in the classroom. I remember in high school they offered several kinds of computer and technology related classes for example i took business technology three times, at different levels of intensity of course. They also offered computer programing and several digital design courses. The digital design courses enabled me to get a scholarship with now covers my full tuition at FSU. So from my point of view technology in the classrooms has only effected me in a very positive and constructive way.

When i become a teacher i will definitely incorporate a lot of technology which will make it easier for the students. I am sure that by the time i step into my career technology will have doubled so there will still be a lot of things regarding technology that i will have to keep up with the fast pace of technology. I just hope to learn the most about windows in this class because i use a Mac and every computer i have seen at a teachers desk has run on windows. So i just hope to become fluent in the language of technology to further my value as a educator of the youth.

MS Word creates a blog posting?

Luckly for me i have alot of previous knowledge with technology. At my highschool i completed every busniness computer and computer programing courses they had to offer. The schlorship i recieved to attend Florida State is from all the completed courses i have in technology. I also took the CGS course last year as a freshman so i am very good with Windows even though i am a MAC person and think they have the upper hand on HP and Windows. I like using computers for useful things like checking the surf and watching surfing videos from around the world.

What i would like to take from this education technology couse is that after I would like to be able to use excel better that is the only microsoft office program that i am not atleast decent at. I would also like to be able to do podcasts and other helpful things on the computer for whan i become a teacher becasue if you know how to utilize it technology can make any job a whole lot easier in my opinion. I have never had a blog or a twitter and although i dont like the programs i think they can be very useful in the right situations so i would also like to become alittle more acquainted with these modern technologys.

I learned alot more about myself from the first class than i initally expected. I learned that my learning is based on visual and hand-on experiences. I am a decent learner with verbal teaching but it is planted in my brain if i actually see it or take part in it. Either way if i work at it hard enough i learn the material so i can honestly learn verbally or visually. I think it all depends on the motivation of the student and their desire to become further educated.
