EDCT+203+-+Week+6

This week in EDCT 203 I made a concept map using a website called cacoo. It was neat. I could maybe see myself using it for a fourth or fifth grade class to organize their ideas for writing a report or a story. I also used Excel to make some spreadsheets and charts. I thought that this assignment was much more authentic, as I will probably be more likely to have my students using these applications in the future since I am a Math and Science major. I will definitely use excel spreadsheets in my classroom, as I feel that a lot of real life jobs may require that applicants be proficient with them and be able to put them to good use. This is a skill that will be important that I have down so that I can help my students with it. I also made a Glogster page. I think that this is something that a language arts teacher could use if they wanted their students to write an autobiography. This would be an excellent tool for that.
