Here I am again...another boring blog to write. I want to tell you about all of the web tools that I'm going to use as a physical education teacher. I want my students to be healthy and learn about being healthy. I will make my kids do a report on ways to stay fit. The Better Health USA website will help them complete this assignment. This site shows teens and kids how to live healthy and eat right.
Another web tool that I will use is Google. I know that there will be times when I run out of ideas for class. I will use Google as a search tool when trying to find games or fun activities to do with my kids. You can never run out of ideas when you have Google on your side. There will always be something else that is fun and enjoyable to do. Google will help me find it.
Since the semester is almost over, I would love to learn more about grade book software. I really don't want to be one of those old boring teachers that has one of the red grade books. Knowing me...I will probably lose it. I need something that I can keep and not carry around. Learning a little about the grade book software last week was really interesting and will be useful. I just have to remember what it was called. ha ha
To reach my technological goals, I would love to take a minor computer class every year. Just to keep up to date. You will never have too much information. The more I know, the better.

Chapter 8 Yippee!!
Chapter 8 talks about security issues, ethics, and emerging technologies in education. There are many security issues when it comes to the Internet and your computer. The main security issue for me is identity theft. Hackers can get into your computer and retrieve all of your personal information. You can use passwords to help prevent this from happening. You computer can also catch viruses that could potentially destroy your computer. You can get an antivirus program to get rid of these viruses. Computers have their own set of ethics. One of the ethic rules is copyright. Never copy any ones work that's copyrighted. It is illegal!
Well, its been a while since my last post. I have learned how to use the 2007 version of Microsoft power point. I really love all of the new additions. The layout of the 2007 version is extremely user friendly. I made two completely different power points and enjoyed working on both of them.
My future technological goal is basically, just to keep up with the ever changing technological world. As a PE coach, there are very little technological skills needed to do the job. However, you never know when you might need to make a presentation or communicate with you students and their parents in other ways, like email. Keeping up with technological advances will help me to keep my mind open.

Chapter 5 YESSSSSSSSS!!! not lol
Chapter 5 is about integrating digital media and educational software applications. In this chapter I learned the difference of Digital media and multimedia. The main difference is that digital media is just that...digital! Digital media educational programs can be interactive. This means that the student can chose the way they want to learn about the subject matter. You can also integrate digital representations into education. An example of this would be graphics. There are also Computer based training programs to learn on as well.
Some new skills that I've aquired since the last posting are the same skills that were on my last post. I have gotten used to working with Wikis and the more that I use these...the more I like them. One new thing that I've learned is the 2007 Microsoft Power Point. While I don't consider myself to be a pro at Power Point, I deffinitely know more than others. I really enjoy doing power point and I know that I will use this in my career.
One thing that I would like to share with the class is "do not get behind on these blogs"! It becomes a pain to have to make them up!! Try to stay ahead. Also, I really like how this class helps each other out. I know I can ask anyone a question and they would be more than willing to help me. That is a good thing to know!
