Excel

As a teacher I would be able to use data collection (surveys) and/or reporting on Excel to have an insight on how the students in the classroom are doing on a certain subject in this classroom. Using this would allow the students to answer the survey questions which would allow me to know which topics I should review and cover again so that the students have a better understanding of the topics discussed in class. 

Two of the topics that I found most interesting from reviewing my classmates' surveys were about Siblings and a quiz about dogs. I found them interesting because they were fun to fill out and very interactive because some of the surveys had the option to drag the answer to the selection I wanted. Besides their interesting quizzes, one of the blogs that I enjoy is Lauren's. She always has the most interest topics and has a very aesthetically pleasing blog. The Blog titled, "Blog 9", is the most interesting because it gives me an insight on how others also find Powerpoint interesting and useful. 

A technology-related skill I would like to learn about next is another chapter on Powerpoint. I understand that we learned a lot about things that we can do on Powerpoint, but if we were able to cover everything that is offered on Powerpoint it would be very beneficial because it is something that almost everyone uses, and if i was able to use it to its max potential it would be awesome.

The point of a Flipped Classroom is to have students practice applying key concepts with feedback while they are in class which prepares students to use these learned key concepts to then check their understanding and extend their learning. I believe this is a very important and essential way of learning so that they can learn and reach their educational potential. 

Open Educational Resources (OER) are any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license. The nature of these open materials means that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them. It's an available resources list for groups that provide flexible environment to organize, create, share, and discuss resources with others in your network. Collaborate with group members, tag, and add resources to shared folders, create your own collections, all within a public or private group. Being able to use these Open Educational Resources is a way to gather educational resources for anything you need. 

OERu is a Free Online Course for Students Worldwide. This website provides students a way to expand their digital literacy while applying these skills in a business setting. This resource will allow students to gather information and apply these to their personal businesses for projects that they are working on now, and also be able to apply them in their careers in the future if they chose to go into the business world. Being knowledgable about digital literacy in this time period that we live in is essential to the success of a business. 

One of the skills that I was mostly excited to learn about when using powerpoint was to be able to make quizzes. I thought that there was a complicated way of doing it, but it was actually just by the use of hyperlinking to the same slide on the same Powerpoint.
