Tools in Chapter 3

The four tools that were talked about in Chapter 3 were Word Processing, Spreadsheets, Databases, and Concept-Mapping. Word Processing helps teachers and students will spell check, it has a thesarus, and grammar check. This helps teachers by giving another form of assistance to students in the classroom. Spreadsheets are an arrange way of horizontal rows and vertical columns. This would be best used in a math or science subject. It also helps by making these subjects a little more interesting. Databases are used in the school system for filing of students' files. Concept-Mapping is a visual way to think, write, and comprehend. One of their websites is inspiration.com which is something we are starting to learn about in here. It is showing us how to build outlines by combining pictures and text.

I am new to this school so it is very scary to me! I have been dancing since i was 3 years old at Donna's Visual and Performing Arts Studio in Ocean Springs. Now, I am an assistant teacher there. I absolutely love it! I have also danced at 3 casinos: the Palace, IP Casino, and currently the Hard Rock casino. Dancing will always be a part of my life. Being around kids all the time is what made me knew i wanted to become a teacher. People say "Oh wow.. little kids?!" ha.. but yeah I love the little kids the most! They are my favorite! That is just a little bit about me and some of the things I love!
