Blog Post #10

I really enjoyed using the surveys this week to learn more about Excel. I have used both of these platforms at FSU already but not in this way. These surveys are fun and you can make them about whatever you want. I could see myself using one of these surveys to learn more about my students on the first day of school or even learn about how i could improve my class towards the end of the year. Becuase I want to be a fifth grade teacher, this would work great because a lot of fifth graders think they’re too old for ice breakers so doing something on the computer might encourage them to be honest with their answers. 

I learned a lot about my classmates through our blogs. Even just their design and setup shows a little bit of their personality so I thought that was really cool. I also got to see how everyone’s opinions differed from mine on each subject we talked about in class. I think my favorite topic that we discussed was the idea of the digital divide. Many of the kids in my class all came from different backgrounds and schooling histories so it was cool to see the difference between everyone. 

I would like to learn about Adobe PhotoShop next. I think that this skill would help me a lot in life with random things like creating posters or making cool pictures and art. I want to learn about this because I have tried to use it a few times and have never had any luck with it. I think I can learn this by talking to my peers and seeing if anyone is willing to teach me and if I still want to learn more then look online at online courses or even Youtube videos.
