Power Point

I found the second part of the pioneer library assignment a little more difficult and time consuming to accomplish. Since there was a substitute last week I felt like I didn't really know what was going on. And while he seemed to know a lot about power points I feel as if I would of benefitted if he knew more of what our actual assignment was so he could help in that aspect.

In Class Today....

I was fascinated by what I learned in class today. I have used Pioneer Library before but usually only using EBSCO for school projects. I am excited to go through the links in more detail and see the many possibilities for tools available to me as an aspiring teacher. I will probably be using the e-media, soundzabound, and and the SIRS Discoverer. They all contain many possibilities that I have a feeling I will be spending more than the half-hour minimun time looking at these.

First Two Assignments...

The first two assignments have been really interesting to do. I learned a lot by putting them together. I learned how to use some of the tools that UEN provides...and while I may still be working out some kinks, most things are going great. In the All About Me assignment I tried to add material that made me unique as an individual and yet information that people could relate to. In the K-12 assignment I tried to pick a topic that I always loved in elementary, weather. I tried to find activities and such that would be fun and that kids could learn a lot from. As the semester continues I hope to learn more and perfect on the style of formatting an UEN page.

This Class....

I was really excited when I registered for this class. I had known a little about computers and how the basics worked. Then in the first day of class when we found out some of the thingswe could be doing, like blogging, setting up and keeping an UEN page, and powerpoints. I hope that this class will be a good learning experience and that I can use this education in the future.
