today was our last workshop! this was a very sad occasion.
today was focused on our photo story presentation. i found this program very interesting. it will be useful for my chosen career. this program will help me to educate my students in an interesting, fun and interactive way. the children remained interested in the lesson and i believe this will enhance the childrens learning.
my photo story follows my boyfriend and i’s journey to and through Taronga Zoo, we had a great time at the zoo.
this program i can use when teaching as i will be able to enhance the childrens learning and make the classes fun through creating a story or lesson out of photos.
today we continued working on our inspiration mindmap….. i found today a lot easier as i recieved help from Mark in this lesson. i then started my powerpoint presentation on my interactive whiteboard. i found this not as challenging as the inspiration program as i have had experience with this program before.
both of these programs will be useful when teaching, as they can be used a tool when teaching!
today we started our next portfolio item. this item was using an inspiration program that i had never used before. i struggled in this first workshop to become famailiar with the program. it had fun making my mind map and adding pictures onto it and makingit look pretty, but needed help when making my mind map
in this item we were required to make a powerpoint item that outlined the advantages and disadvantages of a technology and again i chose interactive whiteboards. again i learnt alot about this technology and i was educated on the advantages and disadvantages of this technology.
in this portfolio item i was required to research a technology that could be used in a school for educating but also around the school. i chose interactive white boards. this technology i have found is a great tool for educating students especially priary school students as it allows the teacher to eduate the students in an interactive and fun way.
this is my class spreadsheet. this spread sheet includes the student marks for all of their assessments, the average etc and whether they passed or not and what there grade was. a grade was then constructed to display the children’s marks.
today again we focused alot on our excel portfolio as there was still pieces that we had not done in the previous workshop. we focused alot on working out whether the children passed or failed and what there grade was. this was a long and complicated process but this ws a great activity and i havel learnt now how to compentently use an excel spreadsheet to record as classes marks.
today we learnt alot about excel, and i focused alot on my portfolio item to make sure that everything was correct as i was having trouble working out the adding of the marks and sums etc.
however, once it was explained i understood exactly what i was doing. this lesson was extremely helpful and i will use the skills learnt in this lesson when im in the workforce as a teacher as a useful tool to recorded marks.
Today i published my portfolio item number 4 and then we focused mainly on excel documents. we learnt and practised adding and recording data in our spreadsheet. we gaathered information from people around us. we then learnt how to calculate the numbers in different cells. this is done easy and i know this will be useful when recording different information as a teacher, for example when adding results from assessments. we also learnt a variety of other functions including finding the sum, average, highest and lowest values. also about how to merge and add the date.
