Overall

I have enjoyed this class!! im finally finished with school and graduating WOO HOO!!! (in may) =)

Chapter 8

This chapter covers different computer software that is available for designing various systems. Students can use CAD programs to create and design graphics, 3-D drawings and objects. There are programs that help design3-D shapes and figures, bent wires and rounded edges. There are different simulation software available to students. These programs help students to visualize different systems and how they work by creating mental models. These simulations can simulate how systems work and the process they go through. Music is another area where designing technologies are used. The composition software is used to compose, edit and play back music. I personally know that band directors are constantly using these programs in schools today. The notes can be viewed, played and edited. Also, students can use these programs to arrange pieces and learn. Designing programs can be used in many areas for learning in school.

Webquest

I really was disappointed in the fact that there was nothing for health but found some really cool activities and stuff about schooling and all. Really enjoyed it!!! =)

Portfolio

I LOVE this electronic portfolio stuff. it makes it so much easier to do it on here instead of handwritten or wasting paper. I find it very handy and great!! i really want to use this in my classroom and that way it helps the enviornment!! =)

Blogging

I have really enjoyed blogging! I think it was something different and fun. I think i will use this in my classroom. it is a little time consuming when you have so much other stuff, but overall it was great! =)

My PowerPoint

I finally submitted my emerging technology powerpoint! I ended up loving it and did really well. I really enjoyed doing this and learned alot that i cant wait to share with my students. I am really happy that i learned all this!! =)

PowerPoint!

I learned so many new things about powerpoint that I had NO idea about. The thing I liked best that I learned was how to hyperlink inside the powerpoint and link to outside sites. I am looking forward to doing this powerpoint for ETEC 424 class. I am choosing to do mine over the circulatory system. I am going to be a health major and what better thing to choose right? Im VERY excited!! =)
