Chapter Six shows ways to intertwine the classroom and the technology that you can use. It also goes into different aspects of the computer like hardware, software, technology training and other aspects of technology. This chapter is especially helpful to because its objective is to make sure our curriculum is incorporated and such. It also goes into detail about the school district and how they can hurt and help. Integration was definitely the key word in the chapter.

New stuff... just more ways to incorporate the computer with future school work. Computers and the different programs are going to become a big part of the school work in my future.

This past weekend was parents weekend. It was alot more fun then I thought. My mom, dad and me went to the game which was lots of fun and exciting because we did pretty well in the game. They both had never been to a college football game. They were of course all decked out in FSU stuff as well. It was weird sitting in the parent section where you just really sit the whole time compared to the student section where you are constantly standing and yelling. It was also one of my good friends 20th birthday so of course we celebrated for her. It was a pretty good weekend.

Chapter five is about digital media and educational software applications. It talks about different parts of the digital media. Such as video, text and graphics. Other parts of digital media include electronic books, references and newspapers. All grade levels use digital media from kindergarden to college. They are used for presentations, tutorials and other types of learning. In every subject too.

I havent really acquired any new skills. Just the old ones are being refreshed.

New with me? Hmm I went home a few weekends ago it was fun. I went to Halloween Horror Night with some of my friends. I was the most scared so I provided the entertainment for the group. I missed home more then I thought but am very happy to be back in Tally.
