Honestly, I found the most interesting things that everyone else wrote in that third paragraph where we were each supposed to write any extra thoughts we had. Every student put something completely unrelated to technology, or even the class. I loved reading students' writings about football and greys anatomy and found it easiest to comment on that because everyone wrote the same things for the first two paragraphs.
Like I said in the last blog, since the class is over I have learned all of the skills I need for education, but if I had done this sooner, I would have said Excel.
I seriously feel like I just wrote this paragraph too, well actually I know I just did, so instead of repeating myself please just go back to my ninth blog and it will tell you all you need to know! =)

Post #9!
When I become a teacher I plan to use the internet a lot. Honestly, I think that http://www.google.com will be the most useful internet source for me. Basically this site does it all. I could even look for a dog sitter through google if I wanted to.
I would mainly use this site to look up useful educational sites that I can use. Since I plan to teach elementary school, I need to be able to look up sources for every subject and since google is one of the most used search engines I figure it will help me look up everything from quizzes in math to short stories for English.
Well, since the class is basically over, I have learned everything that I have wanted to. If I had done this one time, which I am always late though, I would have said I would want to learn Excel because it was the one program I didn't know much about.
I can't wait to be a teacher because I already have an entire plan on how to make my classroom fun and educational like Erin Gruwell (from Freedom Writers). I can't wait to use Powerpoint to make am awesome game like what we learned to do and I plan to take the students I have to anywhere and everywhere and teach them through educational computerized field trips.

Before I start, I want to say that I will probably go back to Posts 6 and 7, but since I am always such a last minute person, if I don't have time I obviously won't!
Anyway, this post is about chapter 8, which discusses computer security. Basically this chapter was about viruses and how they can be detected on the computer using Antivirus programs and the programs also help protect the computer and remove the virus without your computer completely shutting down. Software license helps protect theft and piracy on the computers. Acceptable Use Policy helps the schools protect the students from unwanted sites and viruses and keep them focusing on their work.
I learned from this chapter about how important it is to block students from unwanted sites. I have a lot of antivirus software but this chapter helped me understand it better and see how useful it really is.
I have fallen in love with commercials! I used to change the channel because I hated commercials but now I wait anxiously for them because I find them so funny, like that $2 sandwich from Arbys or where ever...

Chapter 6 was about curriculums. Basically, that is what the learner experiences in the classroom. Technology integration helps one meet the curriculum standards. This chapter discussed the differences between each learner and how important different learning styles are as well. Technology integration is very important for the classroom to help the students learn as much as they can.
I learned a lot from this chapter. I learned about the curriculum and different learning styles, as well as how important it is to put technology in with the curriculum.
Does anyone like country? Because I have recently become obsessed with it and now I can't stop watching GAC and CMT! You should listen to Sugarland they are my favorite!

Chapter 5 was basically about the world wide web. The internet has made a huge impact on everyone recently, even my grandma who knows nothing about technology, and this chapter explained about how it worked more. Hyperlinks help us to easily navigate from one site to another. The internet is now being used for more than just information, it is being used as a classroom as well, which is called the web-based course. Electronic books are also available online and the internet is used for entertainment, education, and communication.
I learned a lot from this chapter about computers. I have figured out my way to navigate through blackboard, but I learned a lot about online classes, which I have always been scared to take. Also, I learned a lot about the internet that I use everyday.
I don't really have a thought to say here... is that acceptable? I mean I don't really know what is even wanted here and I could say some random thing about anything but I don't have anything exciting to say! Sorry to disappoint =(
