I believe we are going to learn more about making movies later in this class. I'm looking forward to learning how to make a movie because it is so useful to be able to splice media so that I can show my students important pictures and maps with cultural music in the background. Movies are a simple way to present lots of information in a interesting presentation. Though it will take lots of work to construct the teacher can even grade quizzes while the students watch a film. :-)
I have no idea how to make a movie, but I'm excited to learn and I’m thankful to Dr. Jenny for all his patience with those of us in the class who are still learning. It may even be fun to have my students make films as an assignment to help them learn more about a time period in History or a certain country.

Sharing SharePoint
SharePoint Designer is a software that enables someone with a geek index of 3 out of 10 to design and publish a website. It has several handy features to help keep you organizes while you make pages. SharePoint Designer gives tips to keep the pages organized and consistent. It makes what would be a painful or impossible task, simple, easy and almost fun.As a teacher I will definitely be taking advantage of this application.
Publishing and maintaining a website would be extremely helpful for reasons such as aiding students in research, posting samples of the work done in the classroom, posting the class schedule, and providing information about me as their teacher. As I intend to keep a website I will be utilizing SharePoint Designer to make that process as painless as possible.

Microsoft Excel
Databases are extremely helpful in general because they keep information organized and manageable. Microsoft Excel is a great software that allows us to construct and update databases with utmost efficiency and accuracy.
When it comes to teaching I'm looking forward to using Microsoft Excel to keep up with my student's grades. I can not only have individual tables for quizzes, exams, projects, etc. but I can also link those and grab information from all of them to make a spreadsheet of final grades. Using this program will save me lots of time and headache. I'm really thankful that we are learning how to master it in class.
