Evaluating educational technology is just the idea that instructors must determine the “value or judge [the] worth” and the appropriateness of a piece of technology before it is used as a teaching method. It’s important, as the book mentions several times, to evaluate the technology before, during and after instruction, along with making an necessary revisions. Teachers should look to “material from school districts, state Departments of Education, professional educational organizations, hardware and software catalogs, recommendations of colleagues, published evaluations, technology conferences, and Web sites” for new educational software.
I found the excel project to be useful because it made me realize how many types of information could really be organized in this program. Excel is a really easy way to make information look really organized as it offers many different ways to illustrate the information: basic spreadsheet, graphs, charts, color/font/etc, and even graphics to make it kinda pretty! Haha Although I do prefer the Office 2007 version of excel, the program in general is great to use for a lot of things.
I am so ready for school to be over, it’s disgusting. I had a lot more on my plate this semester than my first two in the line of organization/job involvement. I’m excited to get home to my family and friends in NY!!!
