A bookmark.. from anywhere.

I took a look at the delicious website and this seems like a nice service. I twould be nice to have book marks at any location on any computer. I am not a big fan of creating another account to just have one more password to remember. Even though this looks like a nice thing I don not see myself signing up. I don't even use my computers bookmarks that much.

Excel Spread Sheets

I like the Excel program. It is a use ful tool for organizing information and making some large calculations on a single sclae or being able to make a large average or sum. I think i can use Excel in many forms in my classroom.

As teachers we use spreadsheets for many reasons: to keep track of grades and attendance which i say is the most useful tool. Spreadsheets also allow us to present information in an organized form to our class. The advantage of spredsheet over a calculator is that it keeps a running total of all records and that it allows you see what information is being processed. Another feature of Excell is that you can make various functions in an easier manner thatn on a calculator. Excell s a very useful tool where the possibilites are endless.

Inspiration Software

I think inspiration software is a useful tool that allows students to brainstorm and collect ideas. I see some useful lesson plans and functions to help me teach. However I cannot see trainang my students to use this program when they might only use it once or ttwice in my class. This program seems to be useful for and English or history class, but i am having trouble tring to envision using this software in an Agriculture class, where there is alot of hands on activities and class room dicussion. This tool could be apllied in my class if it were well known on campus. i just could not see putting the investment of a couple of class days used training to only use it a couple times.

I believe that brainstorming is a form of writing that has benefited most from technology. I see how this program has an excellent brainstorming function that could be helpful once a student gets used to the ideas.

I think students cam help each other in writing by brainstorming in groups and sharing ideas. The more i see a blog used in a class, the more i become adapted to its ideas. i think a blog is an excellent way for students to communicate after the school day is over. this allows them to share ideas an feed back while workin on projects at home.
