Well, I like the Delicious web site and I think it is a great web sit to use. Its a place where you and your friends can post your favorite bookmarks on the web and everyone can see what you posted. I think I would use it so I can post my favorite bookmarks on it, so others with the same interest can see them and look at them. Ill let my friends know about it also so hey can do the same. It looks like a lot of people already use it.

My Thoughts on Spreadsheet

I like spreadsheet, once you get the hang of it i is very easy to use. Most of the Icons are at the top of the page and it is easy to find them. Spreadsheet is very useful. I t will come handy in the class. I would use it in my class for my grade book and so I have to keep track of football equipment that has been issued out to the students or PE uniforms that are lent out.

As a Teacher/Coach we use spreadsheet because it is easy and fast, it is not time consuming like writing by hand is. It is also a lot easier to keep track of items that are being lent out or used. The advantage of a spreadsheet or a calculator is that once you plug all the numbers then it can calculated fast and easy by the click of a button. If you need to change a number it will recalculate it and you wont have to do it all over again.

Blog Posting (Inspiration)

Inspiration:

I think Inspiration will be very helpful for students in school. It is a program to use for brain storming and putting your ideas on paper. I really liked it and i wish i could have used it back in school. I think the kids will like it also. It looks like once you get used to it, then it should be easy to use at home. Using that program back in high school for my essay papers would of been way easier then using paper and pen. That program has a lot to offer to help with notes, you can add video to the notes, web sites, and a bunch of different pics. It could be used in the classroom for group project when there doing there brain storming. When the brain storming is done, then you can save it and e-mail to the kids or turn it into a document and print it out for them.

This would be great for group projects and brain storming in the classroom because you do not have a lot of time for each student to use his/her own program. it would be good to use after reading a book and you have to write a paper after it, you can get all your thought out on paper. or when your working on a history project in a group. So you can see good feedback, the student that is not writing should be looking and seeing what the other student is doing. They should take turns using the program. If a student has a question, then he.she can ask there partner(s) for help before coming to the teacher.
