chapter 4

3 new things


  • "At one time, creating and searching databases was a popular strategy for teaching students organization, research, and study skills and for demonstrating how information is organized to serve various important functions in our society" (pg. 113, Edu Tech)

  • What Open-source software is...source code is avaible in the public domain i.e. Open Office

  • Max's Toolbox that you could use with younger or students who have trouble understanding Mircrosoft Office

2 things in class

  • Microsoft Office programs: word, excel, powerpoint... when using word I will stress to my students to use RTF format, excel I will use for grades and notes for students and parents, powerpoint I would use for lectures and allow my students to use as a presentation tool.

1 more thing

  • How to apply teaching the keyboard in class without making it into a typing class. I find knowing the keyboard is important to students. It was one of the best things I did for myself in highschool.
