Let me start by answering what I am sure is the burning question...yes, I did sleep much better last night. Partly because I wasn't nearly as nervous, but I must give some credit to finally figuring out the air in my wonderful hotel room!
About the class...What an amazing morning! I loved learning the bells and whistles of Word and PowerPoint! The application of what I learned in those few hours is priceless! It will help me as a doctoral student, a teacher, and simply as a user of technology! It's amazing to think how complicated technology can make our lives, but at the same time make it more efficient! I am definitely thinking about taking a more in depth class on Microsoft before I really get going on my dissertation. I think the time and money spent on such a class will pay off HUGE in the long run!
The afternoon was spent on database, namely Access. I have not quite come up with a way to effectively use this system in my classroom or in my daily life. That may be because I am not sure that I want to come up with an effective use. If I do, I will have to use it again, and I am pretty sure that will be nothing short of a disaster!
Very excited to learn about WebQuest! The topic was an easy one since on the drive up here I was just thinking...I have got to do something to make the "Explorers" Unit in Social Studies much more interesting! I know just thing! Check back tomorrow and I will let you know how it went!
Off to work on my lit review! So thankful to be in a team of hard workers!
