Today we discussed power point, and how to give a quality power point presentation. This was useful because often times i feel as though teachers overuse the power point for their lectures, but they do not really know how to use them. So in learning these skills, I will hopefully not make the same mistakes down the road. This was then reinforced through an activity where we gave presentations on the 21st century classroom.

Today we spent almost all of the class learning the ins and outs of excel, during which covered the formulas that we would need to complete our grade books. I was surprised to see how many people had never really used excel before, and I think this lead to the lesson taking a bit longer than was planed. otherwise it was pretty self explanatory
