In the blog post “what i learned from your blog posts #6-10,” I was super interested to see the different software people liked to use. Socrative, Kahoot, and Edmodo were all things I have used before and it was interesting to see that other people used those softwares as well, being that i used some of them when I was even in middle school! It was also interesting to see that some people did not agree with the flipped classroom model, because i was personally super interested in it and thought that most teachers would like this idea. However, I can see why some teachers would like to lecture in class time, such as to make sure the students get all the right information and that the studnts are actually learning the material.
I would personally like to learn more about Excel and how it can be used in the classroom. The assignment this week is using excel to make gradebooks and such, but i wonder how else it could be used, as well as how to use many of the functions we havent learned yet. I also wonder if Excel can be taught in classrooms, especially in the younger ages. I know that i took a computer class in highschool where we learned how to use Miscrosoft Office, such as Word and Excel, but I think they could be taught sooner to help with assignments and make work more interactive, such as maybe how to compute their own grades.
