Yes i do think that all students learn differently because they do have different personalitys. Everybody learns at there own pace, some are quick learners some are slow learners. Yes i do think that by knowing all the different personality types and knowing my own personality type which is INTJ well help me better understand and teach my students. Because i'll know all the different types of personalitys and i will know how to approach them. The better you understand your students the more likely you'll be a successful teacher you can also be a successful teacher by being understanding to your students home enivornment which can play a major role in there personality. Being observant and understanding will get you far as a teacher.

After using microsoft office excel in class on monday i would say that yes i would definitly use microsoft excel in my classroom. It would not only help me keep up with my classes but my grades also. It makes grading so much easier because you do not have to rely on a calculater and sometimes i know that when i am using a calculater with a long stream of numbers i have the tendancy to skip numbers, if i use excel in my classroom that is less likely to happen.

The three main functions of excel is storing, calculating, and presenting information. In a class room all these things are important you have to be able to store all your students grade information in a place where you now you will not lose it. I have a bad habit of losing things when they are not all together and when you are using microsoft office excel all your grades are together and they are safe, unless you erase them by accident! As i've said about being able to calculate all your grades without skipping numbers is very important you do not want to screw up the students grades because you skipped some numbers by using a calculater instead of a spreadsheet, that would be a bad thing! And as for being able to present information you need that as well so you can show charts and graphs to your students in your classroom to help with a point your trying to make or to show a bettter example.

I think that this chapter is very interesting and so was the inspiration video was also just as interesting. Both have given me pointers on how to teach my classroom of high school students how to write better papers using inpsiration and technology. As i am going to become an english teacher all these things will play an important role in my classroom. Now as for the children of today they are so lucky to have all the technology that they have they are learning things so early in life that by the time they become sophmores in high school they well now what i know now as a junior in college which is not only amazing but it is also terrifying to know what more technology we will come up with on the internet to help write better papers.

Okay i like using blogs no i do not think they should be used in the classroom for teaching purposes cause i do not see in any learning from it except for people to vent there opinions.

There are many different ways to use the technology in the classroom like co-constructing knowledge with wikis and blogs
