Blog Post #10

I would use data collection, especially Excel, for every subject to track student's grades on tests/quizzes/homework. This would help me help them by keeping up with their progress and grades and stepping in when I felt as if they were falling behind. I would use surveys at the end of the year to get a general feel for what students liked/didn't like about the school year course material. If the majority of my students didn't like a book I had them read, I would consider taking it out of the curriculum and replacing it with something different, just to make it a little more enjoyable.

I really loved seeing my classmates work and seeing what interested them/what didn't through this blog experience. Everyone in this class always did a great job in their posts and although I only had to leave 2 comments on people's blogs, I oftentimes found myself looking at everyones because they always did such a good job!

I really want to improve my skills in Microsoft Excel. It is very difficult to throughly understand, but I think out of all the technology we have experimented with during this class, Excel is one of the most helpful softwares. With a through understanding on Excel, I would be able to create charts and track data much easier. I plan on utilizing Excel and practicing with it to get better at this skill.
