Booklet
This week during class we learned about making booklets. Booklets can be made on microsoft word for a number of topics. This is a great thing to know how to do not just for in this class but also when we become educators. I feel like I could use this in my health classes and have the students make a booklet on a health topic. This could also be used in elementary physical education for having students understand new sports. I am really looking forward to making booklets in this class and also in the future.

Sept 28, 2010 google docs
Today we learned how to use google docs. This allows you to share all of your work with your group members on the web. This will come in very handy when working at home and your not able to meet with your group members. Today we just started with adding all of our individual blogs. We then learned how to share with our group members. Then we all were able to add and help each other work together. I feel like google docs will not only be a great too for us to use this semester but also in our future as educators.

My graduating class had 54 kids. In High school I played football, wrestling, and track. I also was an eagle scout and prom king. In a small there is not to much to do. Some of my favorite things to do on my spare time are hunting, fishing, working out, and hanging out with friends. All of these activities led me to want to become a health and physical edcator.
As far as technology I am not very good. After taking EDTF200 I would really like to be able to use excell, word, publisher and much more. On way I feel technology can help me as a teacher is making grade books and have students do on line video as a journel.
Since I am not that great with technology I have never taking an on line class. I feel like I would rather see the professor in person rather then on line. That is why this class is going to be very different. Lastly one interesting fact about me is from my junior to senior year in high school I lost 75lb.
