Classmates thank you for all of the hlpful hints that you shared with me on a daily bases. Hope to see you next semester.

What have I learned

I was very scared of this class when i registered for it because the last computer class that i was inrolled in was very hard. Surprisingly thought this class has been fun but challenging. The most important thing that i learned in this class is about google and all of the wonderful FREE things that they offer. I have used the Google power point a few times for other classes this semester and will continue to use it probalby forever. i also learned a little about spreadsheet, I have only used them a few times before and the reason for that is because the confuse the hell out of me, this class however has left me with more knowledge of how to manipulate them and i am sure that with a litte more practice i will get the hang of it. I don't think that you could make this class more enjoyable.

WIKIPEDIA

Wikipedia is a reliable source for information, and it is easy to use, it is however necessary that you back up what you find on wikipedia with other research because of the fact people can alter the information on wikipedia if they do not totally agree with what it says. I am glad that we have discovered a way to track changes that have been made to this website. This will help to get a handle on all of the bored people of the world who place untruths on wikipedia.

Mindsets

The children with the growth mind set will be easier to teach. Fixed Minds believe that their basic intelligence is just a fixed trait. The Students with the fixed mind set will be a little more difficult to teach because, I will have to get them to learn how to see things a little differently than what they do.
As a teacher it is my job to make student understand that they never stop learning. I will lead by example in my classroom by learning with my students, this will help them to understand that we never stop learning no matter how old we are, and that even if we don’t get it the first time that it is okay we can always try again.

I Tunes and PBS

I watched the Observe Clouds video in the grades K-5 section. The video was basically clouds rolling by and eventually they sped up, It was kind of boring. The video did however provide an educators guide that provided a summary of discussion questions, and background information. It is a great program because it is free.
This is a great resource for a classroom. The activity could be a great critical that the students could utilize during free time or after they finished their assignments. thinking activity
