1) If I were to be a teacher I think I would incorporate digital learning for my students. I would be teaching young children like first grade or second. Digital programs are very fun and interactive for young children. Children also love listening to stories. Instead of me haveing to read to them all of the time, I can switch it up by letting them watch the stories on a digital database. This would be interesting for the students to watch stories online instead of just hearing me read them. This prograw would be very interactive for the kids and I can post short quizzes at the end of the stories to may sure they were being attentive and listening. I think this would incorporate fun and learning at the same time!!!! http://www.edline.com/online_classroom_management_school_homework.html?gclid=CMbVp4K88qACFQ2dnAodayzpGw
2)If I were to incorporate Excel into my teaching I most likely would use it when teaching many various subjects. Math is the subject that comes to mind first because of the equations we were taught the other day in class. Excel allows you to plug in equations to apply to a sample of problems and then it will initiate results for every different problem. This is very useful when you have multiple problems that you do not want to type in. All you have to do is type the equation and apply it to your problems as many times as you need to. You can also use Excel to create charts and graphs. I am a visual learner so I believe in using visual aides to assist in learning. I need to see something for me to connect the whole picture together. I can hear something verbally but, then I need something visual to reinfore what I just heard. I think having multiple ways to display the same thing will really project what you are trying to teach. Every student learns and processes information differently so one or more methods of teaching information is very resourceful to your students!!!
