Creating a Website

Well I have been having a fun time creating my Timpview high school softball website. It is really interesting but at the same time it can get a bit tricky for me. I have never created my own website and i do feel a sense of accomplishment when i add something new to the page but I know that i am far from perfect in this area. However, learning how to create a website is going to prove to be very beneficial to me in the future because i am going to need to make them when i am a high school Physical Education teacher/ Softball Coach. There are some bugs that i need to work out on my page but it is a work in progress. Carry on! Carry on!

Copyright at its best!

OK so I thought that the lesson on copyright was very interesting and informative. However, I do not agree with everything about copyrighting. I feel that some things should be allowed. For example, if your watch a movie in a classroom because you have a sub that day and there is no lesson plan; something needs to keep the students occupied. A movie is usually what administrators turn to in those situations. However, according to copyright laws this would not be acceptable. I do feel that copyrighting is extremely important because there are many people out there who don't care where anything comes from or who it belongs to and they will just take it. This lesson allowed me to be more informed and aware that basically anything I do is against the copyright.

Reflection question

I would love to learn more about the google Doc program. I really liked what I
saw about it in class last Thursday. I think it would be great for group work. I
feel that it would also eliminate many technical difficulties that often arise when
I use Microsoft word or excel to share my documents with others. I can use this
as a teacher in the future on many different occasions. For example when I have
to prepare a document or presentation for a staff meeting, i can have other
Physical Education teachers look at it through google docs from wherever they
are at. They could be on vacation and still give me input without even having to
open their email. As a student google doc and the other resources mentioned in
class are very helpful to me right now. We are currently working on a group
assignment for one of my other classes and we have used google doc! I might
just be becoming a fan of this technology stuff after all.

Goals for semester!

- As far as goals I would like to become better with this computer stuff and I would especially like to learn how to download pictures off of a camera and put them onto my computer. Sounds simple to most yes but to me it's like trying to eat an entire pie in one bite. I would also like to learn the basics of the computer world. So like the new microsoft word, learning new websites that would be a great benefit to me in my Physical Education career in the future. I am ready for this! I know that this class will help me become better able to teach my future students things that they will need to know in a timely fashion.

Reflection on Technology background

Well hey there!
-Um I definitley don't have a ton of experience with technology. Actually it is a habit of mine to constantly try to advoid it as much as possible because I would just rather not deal with it to be honest. I mean for real, I still would much rather stick with the 2003 version of Microsoft word than try to even remotely understand the newest version. However, I am trying to get better at this always changing game of technology.
