Week 16-The End!

My first experience with using blogs is complete and has come to an end.
My blog has been closed!

Week 16

I have learned a great deal in this class. It has been pretty interesting. I learned how to create a web site. I never knew it had so much involved in making a web site. I had no idea what a html code even was. It is pretty awesome. I also learned how to do a gradebook, which will come in handy when I become a teacher. I thought I would have to do each students grades individually. This is one folder I will definitely keep. I also learned how to do multiplication table, address book, line and bar charts, and tab tables. I also learned how to replace words with others, to put in text boxes, to do a trifold brochure, to add symbols, to use the function key to figure up payments and interest. The function key has to be the best thing I have learned. Using the function key you can click on logical and IF to add bonus points to grades and use VLOOKUP to set your grades. I never knew you could so much with Microsoft Excel. This class has made me a lot more comfortable when it comes to dealing with computers. Thank you, Dr.Strange

WEEK 15

My website is about my favorite animals. On the main page it shows a picture of my Chinese Pug. His name is Cutie Pie. On the following pages you will find pictures of other animals that I find interesting. I have fininshed my web site. All corrections have been made. If I had extra time I would like to go back and put more information about each of the animals I talked about.

Week 11

Seymour Papert lives in Maine and has a laboratory, The Learning Barn. There they are developing new methods of learning. His goal is to make sure all children have a personal computer. He spends a lot of time in Maine at a youth center in Portland. There he spends time working with teenagers who have been convicted of serious offenses.
Mr.Papert, is also an advisory on MaMaMedia Inc. MaMaMedia is a place for kids on the internet, where they can go to play games. It is really a neat site. I will include the link so you can take a look at it. I have a seven y/o daughter who will love it. Recently, Mr.Papert went on a cross country tour to show his book- The Connected Family:Bridging the Digital Generation Gap.

WEEK 9

I found a website where college teachers are using ipods. The benefits of the ipods are that they can be used beyond school hours. They also bring studies to life. The ipod is designed to meet the needs of individuals.
The ipod is also great for the teachers to keep up with information and organize their lessons. The teachers and students think the ipods are great. "By using the ilife suite of multimedia applications, educators and students can create their own iPod content."

WEEK 8 #2

I found a website where students are using spreadsheets in science class. This website is designed so that any school can particpate in the online project. The project is to conduct scientific investigations. The data is then downloaded to an online spreedsheet.
The investigations become harder over time and therefore the more useful the spreadsheets become. When the data is put on a spreadsheet it is easier to update and can be instanly and easily viewed. It also allows the students to view the data in a variety of ways to make it easier to understand.

week 5-USA schools using blog

Mrs.Marisa Dudiak's, second grade class in Frederick County,MD. are using blogs. She also states that blogging helps her usually "shy" students express themselves. The blogging all began with a trip to a Native American Farm, which the children could not stop talking about. Mrs.Dudiak, likes the idea of blogging because it can be helpful on any subject. Another plus with blogging is that students can do it away from school.CLICK HERE

Hey!

Not much to write about. I woke up yesterday with a sore throat. I hope I do not get any worse. I am working on my trifold brochure. Wish me luck.

WEEK 4

Dr.Strange,
I have really enjoyed my experience blogging. At first I thought I would not like it, it would be boring. Now, that I know how to add pictures and hyperlinks it is pretty exiciting. I also like learning more about my computer in general.
I think blogging would be very beneficial in grade school. It would allow students to communicate with others from different countries. What better way to learn about another place than by word of mouth. It would also give students experience on the computer. The only negative aspects of blogging I can see is someone whom exploits children could start blogging. Hopefully, there is someway to keep it were only students in school could communicate and the blogging could be censored.

Hyperlink

I wanted to do a new hyperlink, so I thought I would do one on a place I have always wanted to visit, Italy. I found a good wesite.CLICK HERE

Hey Dr. Strange,
I would like to start off by saying my picture on your roll looks horrible. I have a double chin and I look cross eyed. Anyway, I am having a good time in your class. I hope to learn a lot more about computers. Computers and me do not seem to get along very well. See you in class
