Using iPods in the Classroom!

GROWING USE OF iPODS IN THE CLASSROOM! Duke University

^^^^^^^^I believe that we all must adapt to the growing changes in technology. The above site is by Duke University who have directly researched using iPods in education. Duke University gave away over 500 iPods which are capable of storing, not only music, but also books, video, pictures etc.

I personally love to use my iPod for more then just listening to music! The iTunes program, which is used for downloading music, movies, pictures, music videos etc, allows you to download all kinds of stuff. It may also be beneficial for children because they have programs you can download such as SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK (an educational television show that used to come on when I was younger that helped teach children all kinds of things in all subjects. Math, Science, Social Studies, & English!) Movies & television shows such as those on the discovery channel are available. Just about anything you can think of you can download to your iPod. iPods are verrrrrrrry beneficial.. & can be great as a teaching aid!!

Using spreadsheets in classroom instruction!

Using spreadsheets in the classroom is a great way to stay organized! It is also a very useful way to save time if you know how to use the program properly. Dr. Strange has shown us several ways in which spreadsheets can be useful, not only in the classroom but also when dealing with your personal financals. We have learned to make very organzied grade book. I think that learning to make the grade book has been my most favorite part of the spread sheets! Microsoft Excel is a wonderful, time-saving program that I will be using a lot in the future!


The following website is a great source for ideas of using spreadsheets and other useful technological advances which have resulted in the positive student achievement.

Integrating Technology into the Classroom

Mardi Gras

What did I do for Mardi Gras? Absolutely nothing. I stayed home & studied for a test that I had that week. I know.. what a geek. I did enjoy the day off from work though. I took a break from studying & went out for sushi with my sister. I also went to hobby lobby to get some things for scrap booking. That's about it. You?
