Week 9 reflection

This week we covered Word Processor and prepared spreadsheets using Microsoft Excel. I must say this has been quite a relaxing week as far as EDET is concerned because I am no stranger to the topics we looked at. However, I offered my support to classmates new to processor and excel, and kept an ear out for anything new that I could have learned. Surprising, for once I was on top of things and managed to complete all the necessary tasks before class was done.

Though the semester is almost over, I must say the challenges faced so far paid off as I now have a better understanding of this EDET course, and how I can incorporate technology in the classroom to aid teaching. I look forward to the following classes and am excited to take on another challenge.

How would I utilize Word Processor and Microsoft Excel in my classroom????
Microsoft would be the main software utilized in my classroom. I would prepare home work assignments using this software, tests, notes, and different class activities. I would use excel as an assessment tool where I create checklists and rubrics to see where the students are academically.

Week 7 reflection

Another exciting yet challenging week for me. This week we looked at the ASSURE model; a unique yet more difficult way of preparing a lesson plan............ As if the way I learned wasn't challenging enough for me!!!! This ASSURE model took a lot of practice and peer tutoring but I "think" I finally got the hang of it.
A - analyze learners
S - state objectives
S - select, modify, and design method, media and material
U - utilize method, media, and material
R - require learner participation (performance)
E - evaluate

We also had to get into groups and create a movie using Windows Live Movie Maker, this was the exciting part!!!! My group members and I created a movie for grade two students called "Animals and their Habitats." in this movie we included pictures of the animals and their habitats of course and even put a song to it. thanks to creative Kevon and my other group members, we were able to capture our classmates and lecturer's  attention as we presented our movie the following class.

After learning about Windows Live Movie Maker, I am even more eager to step in to the classroom. this is a software to help motivate students to learn, and participate in class and pay keen attention to the lesson.
