Week 2

What have I been learning?

Well this week we learned and worked with google and its many apps. I never knew there was so much available through google! We worked with its calender, a great idea by the way, and the documents option that allows you to save your work online and work on it any where with the Internet.

So what does this mean to me as an aspiring teacher?

I know that I am going to use these programs from now on. I definitely will use the calender. It will help me manage my schedule with such ease. The documents setting it also super helpful. I can start something at school, save it, and then continue at home. I can see why this would be a great thing for people in the program to have. They don't have to stay at the school for hours trying to get work done, when now they can do all they want at school and do the rest at home.

Along with using documents yourself you can work with others too. I love that. You can invite people to work on the paper too. I never would have thought of this. This has to be the one thing a college student can get the most benefit from. Instead of having to set up a time that works for everyone you can just set up this document and let everyone in the group work on it at their own convenience.

Now what will happen?

So I think my favorite part was learning about the calender, I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Plus being a poor college student I couldn't go out and buy one of those expensive programs that does the same thing as google. When I become a teacher I know I will use this app. for setting up my schedule for the class. This would allow me to know what is coming and when I would have time to fit other things in the schedule; also the parents would see what is planned for their child.

The documents setting is great too. My students will be able to work with a safe program to write stories, papers, and anything else they want to. Also it is a controlled setting. I will be able to check their work and they can do it at home or school.

Video!

I am what I learn. I thought it was a good video, as in it had a good theme. I like that it inspires you to live your dream and work hard. You can make the choice to make things better for yourself, by not letting what happens to you get you down. For children and teens still in school this video would help them see that no matter what is happening you can find something that makes you happy. It's your choice!
