Research Prompt 2

The work for this last week resulted in success. I learned how to use Microsoft Excel and I also took a practice test in the SAM program on Power Point. The only thing I will change about my work is that I won't wait until last minute to do it.
I think the most important thing I got out of this class was a better understanding for Microsoft's Power Point. Through the SAM program, I learned more about adding thing to power point then I did the week before.
Well, you need to understand how to work the programs before you actually start a project.
My thoughts on my future still stand the same right now.
I would think that my life mostly mimics my Grandmother's. She went to school and ended up getting a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in teaching, and she became a teacher. Then she met a pretty cool husband and created a pretty nice looking family. So, pretty much, I want to be like her.
I think that my future life least resembles Britney Spear's life. Kidding. Honestly, my whole family is made up of educators, so I can't really answer that question.

Research Prompt 1

I believe that this class will improve my academic success because it will teach me a lot of information about new technology. Not only will it teach me how to work technological programs , but it will also benefit my students when I become a teacher.
This past week I learned a lot of useful information about Power Point that I didn't know. I learned how to make difficult power point assignments and use them to teach others. I believe the most important thing I got out of class was how to create Power Points and more important, how to use them.
In ten years from now, I plan to be a successful high school teacher. I see myself teaching History in another state, such as California or Alabama because I want to teach somewhere with a nice atmosphere and I love both of those states. I also plan to be married with 2 sons and daughter. ha ha
This class will help me create that future by teaching me skills that I may incorporate not only in class, but in a professional aspect as well, such as at school board meetings and more.
