When I become an elementary school teacher, I can see myself using data collection in many ways as a helpful tool to manage my classroom and my grades. Excel is a helpful resource to collect and present date from students' grades, especially major test grades. Being able to see students' grades all next to each other will help me as I decide what material to cover less or more throughout the years. Data collection, such as a survey, will help me get feedback from students and parents on ways to improve my teaching and management strategies in the classroom. Being able to conduct anonymous surveys may help my students feel more comfortable in presenting their feedback, so that I can better tailor my classroom and teaching to fit the needs of my students.
In reviewing my classmates' blogs, I found it interesting how my classmates were able to gain different skills from the different assignments done in class. I was also interested in the amount of different resources my classmates accessed that will be useful when we become educators in the future.
In terms of technology-related skills, I would most like to learn how to use new technologies to present to a classroom. For example, I would be interested in learning how to develop a supplemental activity to share with a class using a Smart or Promethean board. I could potentially accomplish this goal by attending webinars and viewing tutorials online of teachers using these technologies, and I could visit the Tech Sandbox again to get a more in-depth look at how these technologies are used.
