I think I will utilize Excel in the classroom to do attendance, to keep track of behavior of the students in the class, and to show the class the statistics on each test so that they can be aware of where they stand in the classroom grade-wise. I plan to teach math when I am a teacher and i think using graphs to determine which types of problems are most commonly missed and which are most commonly correct will benefit my teaching strategies and which subjects to focus more on.

In this class, I have learned a lot about some social media sites and other helpful websites that can be used for teaching. For example, I would have never thought to use Pinterest as a resource for teaching but from my classmates' blogs, I learned different ways to use these sites for educational purposes. I also learned a lot about my classmates personalities from their blogs. Even seeing what they like to do each project about and their ILPs about, it taught me about what they are passionate about individually. I've been introduced to so many new sites that can be used for educational purposes.

I would love to learn about PhotoShop in the future. I know that it is a much more complex software and you can't necessarily learn it over night, but I think it could be really interesting to learn the different possibilities of editing photos and graphics.
