I will use data collecting/surveys when I'm a teacher to record the progress of my little students. For myself, I want to be a teacher who teaches either 2nd or 3rd grade. During those grade levels, students grades typically aren't recorded, therefore it is hard to see a students progress throughout the year. I would use excel to record each students success on quizzes or activities, so by the end of the year I can see which student improved their learning. I think this is important to write down, in case a parent asks how their kid is doing on school work, or wants to know what they can improve on. It'll also make me recognize what the class is struggling the most with overall, where I can then improve or reteach information that may have been confused.
The things I found most interesting when reading other student's blogs were when they posted screenshots of the activities we had to do. Since the projects are usually not shared, I enjoy looking at the images from their work they created. I also was interested in other classmates opinions on certain educational technologies or applications. By reading what other students thought about these technologies, it gave me ideas on how that software could be useful in the classroom. Gathering different ideas from other students was most interesting, because I got to read how they thought educational tools could be used most efficiently as a teacher.
One technology skill I would like to learn how to use perfectly, is the Promethean board. During our trip to the FSU sandbox, I had the chance to play around with the board by drawing on the screen and making shapes. However, I never learned all the tools and applications that the board offered and I think this technological piece is a great tool for the classroom. The board has an interactive system where teachers can deliver lessons and assessments in a simpler way. Like a white board, you can draw on the screen but with the Promethean board, you can save what you wrote for future references. I want to achieve this goal by going back to the sandbox on my own, and ask the professionals there how to use the board to all its advances.

The "Flipped Classroom" is an idea that the typical lecture and homework assignments are reversed in the classroom. This means, at home students watch video lectures and write down notes or information that is important during the videos. But in the classroom, students time is devoted to assignments, discussions, and projects based off the material learned. Students can learn the curriculum at their own pace and rewatch any information they didn't understand the first time. It's also more effective for students to communicate and discuss what they've learned at home in the classroom so they can express their ideas and share questions. It helps when students are doing activities in the classroom, and the teachers can be there to help if needed.
Open education is all about making education experiences available to a wide audience. This makes everyone have access to educational experiences while working to eliminate barriers such as money. It opens experience to people who may have not been accessible to educational experiences. Open content is the ability that others can copy and change work from previous creative resources. Open source are materials that can be changed because the creators have given permission for individuals to have their material. As long as they meet the criteria, people can use their information to create their own material. I used this cite here to learn about "open" terms.

I've worked with PowerPoint many times before but I did learn some things through the PowerPoint assignments. I learned how to use the "action" buttons to create an animation on the slide. I also learned under "slide show" and "set up slide show" if you click, "browsed at kiosk" this takes away the ability to click to advance to the next slide. I also have never hyperlinked to the next or previous slide which I found very useful in my assignments. I loved creating both Powerpoint assignments because I feel like I've learned a lot about the tool and I will be using these techniques in the classroom as a teacher. I think for next time, I could improve on making the voice over and to include details about the slides.
