Power Point

The activity outcome says that we should be able to create and archive a graphic image and publish the presentation in a variety of ways. The SlideShare account gives us the opportunity to show that we can archive the graphic image and publish the presentation in a variety of ways. I did not have any trouble with this assignment, however, I still don't think that every graphic image or presentation that we show in class as teachers will always be entertaining for students. I do understand the reasons behind the military's power point woes, but as far as my teaching goes I think that it is difficult to always be presenting students with presentations that keep their attention.

Power Point

Survey for temperament

I am an idealist according to the survey. I think this information would be important in the learning environment because it would help teachers develop strong relationships with students to inspire their learning. Teachers may also be able to find some common personality traits among students and be able to group students so that they are inspiring each to learn.

APA Paper

This assignment was one of the most confusing. I think this assignment needs more directions. I do not think this assignment was clear about what we were supposed to do with the APA formatting.

The four temperments

I don't know which temperament I identify with the most. I don't feel like I can relate to any of them. I follow rules, always obey the law, speak of what I hope for in the future. I suppose the guardian and the idealist temperaments are the top two I identify with the most.

Grade Spreadsheet 2

The grade spreadsheet was a good way for me to brush up on my excel formulas. I had forgotten how to weight grades using excel. When I first started teaching, a lot of the older teachers would come in my room and want to know how I was averaging grades so quickly. I had set up my own excel spreadsheets to use at that time. Since then, the software program Grade Quick has become really popular. The school where I am currently working is requiring all of its teachers to use Grade Quick for this second semester.

Grade Sheet

Spreadsheet 1

I probably should not admit that I had an excel course at FSU a few years ago. I only had problems when I was trying to sort. At first I copied each terms averages into the semester 1 sheet and averaged the three columns. However, I could not sort the information the way I needed it to be sorted. I kept getting value errors. I looked at the discussion board and realized that I could just put all the terms averages and divide by three in one column and then sort. That worked for this assignment.
