In chapter 6, we took a deeper look on incorporating technology into the curriculum. Curriculum, according to our book, is defined as the knowledge, skills, and performance standards students are expected to acquire in particular grade levels, or through sequences or clusters based on subject matter...blah blah....basically, it's what you learn in school. Now the book gives so helpful advices about technology intergration, which is when you use all parts of technology with each subject-related area within the classroom. There are so great shortcut programs which help you do everything for a classroom. For example, a KWL chart assists the teacher in identifying student understanding of subject matter! Wow! That's pretty neat!
In our classroom, I have learned even more about powerpoint. Through the two powerpoint assignment (only one of which was graded), I learned how to do slide transitions, designs and layouts. I'm not even kidding, powerpoint is so helpful! And, now I'm excited to learn about all these other programs which will help make lesson planning, activities, and the grading system even easier in the classroom!
My sister is pregnant! She is the first of my siblings to have a baby and we are all so excited. My father, who throughout my lifetime never showed favoritism, today told me that she is his favorite because he's going to have a grandson. It was so funny. We are all thrilled to meet the newest member of the family, Billy Jr. (named after her husband). The baby is due in March!
