I see data collection in all industries as important and teaching especially. I would use date collection programs such as qualtrics to gauge public opinion of the lessons both from the parent perspective and the student. This way I can ensure a dynamic and increasingly efficient method of teaching. I would also use excel and they data representation it offers to better understand the student's grades as a whole. This would both streamline the grading process as well as allow me to see the big picture as far as grades with respect to their lessons.

I found my classmates' blogs to be interesting. Especially in how everyone voiced their own opinions subtly regarding each assignment. My favorite bit I found on a classmates blogs were the presentations they developed for ILP #1. You could clearly see a disparity between those who really could wield technology and those who struggled through it, and I'm not necessarily saying I was of the first.

The technology tool I want to learn most is garage band. Beyond useful, I see many enjoyable applications for it. Apple does a very good job at being user-friendly. So my hope is that although not close to mastering the instruments themselves, I might be able to make a good sound with the program. As with anything in technology, I intend to learn this through trial and error and spending time manipulating the program. This being said, a youtube tutorial wouldn't hurt either.

Although at first I was considerably frustrated, working through the frustration to finally understand the website made it become fun quickly. I had a lot of trouble adding links to the site, and was confused as to how I could change the tabs in the top right-hand corner of the website from the default "ho...
