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.

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...

In todays society technology is being used widely throughout the classrooms. The reason that technology has become such a wide spread use in the classroom is because technology is growing rapidly. Teachers and students are both using the technology in the classroom because it is a skill that is going to be necessary in the future because technology is only going to grow from here on out. The ISTE standards for educators are very accurate in its goal towards helping students become empowered leaders. One standard that stands out to me is leader. A big part of being a teacher is being able to hold the role as a leader and being able to demonstrate it positively. Like the standards suggest, educators should be able to meet the diverse needs of all students, which is a huge role that a leader should demonstrate. One standard that I do not think that I have acquired skill for yet is learner. The standard learner requires educators to set goals, stay current with new research, and to be in...
