What A Day!

Today was a great learning opportunity for me. I was exposed to podcasts and free programs! The podcast was interesting and I can see how I could use it in my classroom. I like the idea of making a podcast for my class on a day that I may be gone. I don't know that would use it like we used in class today, but more as a resource for my students. I wasn't at all aware of the open source programs, so that was enlightening and worth checking into at my school. I am still a bit unclear on the excel assignments and would like more direction on those, but I imagine I can figure them out on my own. One negative comment that I would have is that I feel like I should already know how to do a lot of this stuff prior to being in this class and that I am just expected to do assignments with certain programs without any instruction. It's been a bit frustrating, but still a good experience.
