I would use data collection as a high school math teacher. Excel would be useful to record the class averages on different assignments and test. This would be an excellent way to show students how their score was compared to the average. I would also use surveys to assess the class’s comfortability on the lessons we are covering to see how I should structure my teachings to better help them. The anonymous surveys could then be transferred to Excel so I could better see the results.

I really enjoyed learning more about my classmate’s opinions on different things. It is interesting to see everyone’s point of view and their justification. Every time I would read their post they would mention something I did not think about. For example, I found it interesting when we discussed our opinions on the Twitter assignment. Some students did not like using Twitter and I had just assumed that everyone did. I also found it interesting to see what each student learned from the assignments in class. The screenshots that were included allowed me to see a little of what they did there project on and I liked that.

A technology-related skill I would like to learn next is how to use PowerPoint to format an eBook. For my IFS class, I was supposed to make an eBook through PowerPoint but once the teacher learned of how many people where have such difficulty with the assignment she let us turn it in as a Microsoft Word document. I attempted to make the eBook, but I was running out of time and I was confused. I will achieve my goal by watching more videos on YouTube and setting aside time to do so. I was very rushed when I was trying to figure it out and I think that’s why I got so frustrated.

Here are a few screenshots to see what I attempted to do for my eBook:

The flipped classroom is when students watch a video at home on the lesson. The student learns the lesson on their own and takes notes. The student can re-watch the video and work at their own pace from home. The next day in class the students work on problems and activities based on the video watched from home. Students can then ask the teacher questions pertaining to the lecture video they watched from home. When I was in high school one of my teachers used the flip classroom method. This was the website we used: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/precalculus/trig-equations-and-identities-precalc/inverse-trig-functions-precalc/v/inverse-trig-functions-arcsin

In the podcast, open education was discussed. Open education is a term used to describe an initiative to broaden the access to the learning and training traditionally offered through formal education. The goal is to limit the barriers based on education. For example, to eliminate the requirement for entry, like academic admission requirements. The internet is a useful source for open education because it allows rapid and free information to be shared with people all over the world. https://www.openeducationweek.org

The new skills I acquired from working on the two PowerPoint assignments were how to make games/jeopardy through PowerPoint. I had always wondered how teachers made the jeopardy games through PowerPoint it seemed too difficult. I am glad that I can now say that I know how to do it. I also learned how to add my own audio over a PowerPoint presentation. I find this a very important skill to know how to do because I think it makes your PowerPoints look more professional. I really enjoyed both assignments because I learned so much, and I can see myself using this in the future. I did not like how the assignment were due a week apart.
