1. I believe surveys and excel can be very important as a teacher. Using surveys can help you as a teacher get an idea about how students feel about a subject they are learning. It can also use data to see information they have gathered from each lesson. Then by using Excel, you can analyze quantitative data gathered from your students. You can look at their average, median, and mode test grades. This can be done at an individual level or as a class whole. This would work for any grade, especially smaller kids. You can use excel to see where they are struggling the most based on test scores. I think middle or high school would benefit the most out of surveys.
2. I found the blogs to be pretty interesting to read throughout the semester. I really enjoyed reading about the responses from Blog #6. I found it interesting to see everyone views on school websites and how to incorporate technology in the classroom. These are relevant topics to consider when going into teaching and seeing how it would impact everyone as a teacher was very interesting. Also, I was unable to visit the tech sandbox with everyone, so I liked seeing everyone's experience.
3. Diigo was something I have never worked with or even heard of before this class. I think it is a great tool to use when filtering through information. You can highlight and bookmark important information and when revisiting the site, you can go straight to those highlighted portions. Also when working with other teachers you can share important information with each other. Although, a great tool, I do not think I would use this as a daily tool.
