Intergrating technology into the classroom is great. In fact, technology is being used in all aspects of our lives, checking our bank statements, paying bills, even buying new, cute shoes...these things are all done online now-a-days. However, there are some major security issues involved. Computer viruses are more contagious than a yawn and identity theft is a common term. Chapter 8 explains how viruses spread and gives a basic understanding of virsuses. Also, it explains how to use virus protection. Remember, purchase reliable antivirus software, scan ALL data, turn off email preview, and back up your files often!
Through the excel SAM program I was able to spend about an hour learning even more about excel! The only thing that I thought was ridiculous was the "shift + ` + ctrl" or whatever the command was to show the functions being used. That is one that I will never remember how to do.
I am so ready for finals. I can't wait for next semester when I am able to take math classes and am done with all of the prereqs to education. I think that is the biggest sign that I should be a math teacher, the fact that I am ready and waiting to take more math classes...haha.
