The digital media software section was insightful. I think digital media is probably one of the best tools a teacher can use, as it incorporates many of the different learning types into one. PowerPoint is an exceptional program for illustrating and creating outlines, projects, etc. E-books are also a good resource, but I tend to like having a physical book in my hand. However, for certain classes, having a digital copy could be useful. The interest in Sim programs for teaching seems far-fetched. How does building a fantasy theme park teach much of anything beyond maybe space management?
Oh, skills... I can't say I've learned much of anything. For kids, I do agree certain educational games can be entertaining and helpful. I've seen kids go nuts over learning their timetables with a flashcard program that involves the entire class. But I had already seen that, so it's not new knowledge. I learned some specific programs that have certain functions, but most will not be of use to me teaching college.
Nothing really to report in my life. I turned down a few keggers this past week in favor of relaxing. Oh, and did I ever relax this weekend... I did nothing. It was nice not being rushed for class or work continuously. Work is a bit iffy at this point. They have been having problems with various things, such as money and people. Overall, I still enjoy it though. I did get someone talk to my manager about me in a none-too-flattering way, which if you knew me, would be a surprise. We knew she would be a problem the moment she walked in though, so I guess it wasn't too much of a shock.

Our weekends were complete opposite. I feel like all I did was go out,but then again thats probable why I am broke right now. The people at my work really arent too nice either!
Powerpoint is a great program and is useful. I also enjoy this program because it is user-friendly. Hope things get better for you at work.
i love relaxing on the weekends.. hope it was enjoyable!
