If I were going to be a teacher I do not think that I would use data collection or surveys often at all. I feel that surveys would be more used by administration versus the individual teacher. Math teachers would be more inclined to using surveys because it could deal with numbers. Excel is definitely something that is widely used by teachers especially when it comes to keeping track of students grades and assignments. 
After reviewing my classmates blogs the topics I found most interesting were adaptive technologies and the flipped classroom approach. Adaptive technologies is something that makes technology available for everyone and I find that to be really interesting and innovative. in my opinion the flipped classroom approach allows for a better learning environment. Letting the students learn the information before going to class is extremely beneficial and it allows for classroom time to focus on actual concepts and not just the information.
The next technology skill that I would like to learn would be photoshop. Editing different media sources is something that I have always been interested in. I have used photoshop in the past but only on my cellphone which is completely different than the version on a computer. I will develop better photoshop skills but hopefully purchasing the software for my computer and teach myself by watching tutorials. Until I get the software I will continue to use the app on my phone to edit different media.

The website that I found is for a 5th grade math class. From first looking at the website you can tell that the teachers audience is very clear. It is designed in a kid friendly way for both the parents and the students to be able to utilize the site. The type of information displayed on the page are assignments for the class on what they will be doing in class for that day, a meet the teacher page, and it has an awesome resources page available for the parents to use with their children. http://5thgraderocks5thgraderules.blogspot.com/p/meet-teacher.html In the future Technology is going to be bigger than it is now so it will most definitely play a prominent role in my future professional career. I plan on using certain resources such as Excel, Powerpoint, and Microsoft Word in my professional future. These resources are diverse and can be used for multiple things in the work force. They allow you to utilize organizational skills in a simple, non-complex way. After going to the te...

The flipped classroom approach is when you give the students the material online before the class. This means that the students are able to learn the material before class. Then, class time can be used for discussion and deeper clarification on the subject at hand. This approach allows the students to gain a better understanding of the information. An open educational resources are basically an online learning resource that are very accessible. These resources allow teachers to adapt these resources and use them with in their classroom free of charge, it helps broaden their material. The educational resource I am discussing can be found on through this link:    https://www.oercommons.org/courses/100-people-a-world-portrait/view . It provides you information on global issues, pictures, videos, stats, and ways to get involved.  The powerpoint assignment was very interesting. In my opinion the non-interactive powerpoint was harder than the interactive powerpoi...
