This computer class truly has taught me so much. Walking into this class I figured I already knew just about everything one needed to know about computers and what they can do to help. However, this class really showed that you have to always continue to learn and open up your mind to new ideas. In this class I learned things that I thought I would never learn or needed to learn. However, this class showed many different programs that can be used in the classroom to bring technology to the future students.
One thing that I learned in this class was how to create a podcast. The idea behind it is a great one and I learned it can be a great tool to help in the classroom. Whether the teacher creates her own podcast for her students or the students listen to podcast already made. The podcast we listen to were really interesting and could teach future teachers a lot. We also had to read blogs, and create out own blogs. The idea that you could possibly reach students from around the world and visa versa is just amazing to me. I had never even blogged before a day in my life until this class and I really see its importance.
Moving on from the Internet, this class really taught me how to use programs that one uses just about everyday ten times better. I now know how to use excel and use it the right way with the functions and the graphs and everything. Which is something I never thought would happen. I also learned how to better utilize word and power-point as well. All these tools and programs and ideas are going to be great for any future teacher and maybe even a future physical education teacher, like myself.
To say that everything was taught in this class that could be taught would not be telling the truth but to be honest I honestly cant think of anything I would have liked to have learned either better or just in general. The class is truly a great stepping stone to becoming a great teacher.
