Activity 6

using office software with subject learning

This was quite an interesting activity, comprising of three parts where with each I had to use a different type of office software; I am capable of using the office software competently so what  I really learnt was using my skills to prepare Teaching/learning activities to better enhance my students abilities. The activity help show us that regardless of the subject area, we can still use office software to produce documents for our students and if we do not know how to use them, then we have the opportunity to learn so we can be better equipped for this technological age with the inclusion of ICT in our teaching.

Activity 5a

I am impressed with the amount of resources that are out there on the Internet readily available for teachers, it is just left to us to seek, find and make use. As a math teacher I always want additional resources to use in class, curriculum and lesson plan help; this activity helped point me to some of those websites and with the checklist provided and could have assessed websites for content and other material. websites like: www.khanacademy.com ,mathsnet.net  and discoveryeducation.com.  so during this activity I found some websites useful and some not so useful because they were lacking in quite a number of sections while I assessed them with the check-list.
In general websites can be useful for assisting students and teachers to enhance learning.
