From reviewing other students blogs the one thing that I found most interesting was the fact that all students were on different levels. It could have been on a technologically based level or it could have been on a more socially based level. But every student was unique in their own ways and actually opened up in one or another in these blogs.

The next technological skill that I would like to learn would be whatever comes next. I mean our world of technology is forever growing. And I just want to learn everything new that comes out and keep up with the times. I don't want to be the teacher that doesn't know what the latest technological gadget is!

The way that I might learn my future technological-relates skills would be to continue in my education. If I keep pushing myself to learn then I will be able to learn whatever new thing is invented. But if I lose my interest in my education then I will not be able to keep up with what is being invented from day to day.

Since beginning to write actual papers in high school, I have had to learn how to write to bibliographies. And as every one knows bibliographies are boring and very annoying to have to write out. So, my friend introduced me to something that is like Refworks, but for every one. It is called Easybib.com

I have fallen in love with easybib. You go to this site and put in the information from the book that you used and then the site automatically puts it in whatever from you may need. I plan on using this with my students because I want my students to be able to site whatever sources they may use. I don't any my students accused of plagiarism.

The next technology skill that I would like to learn would be how to do music related things on my computer. Like I-POD or burning CDs. Because I have never had an I-POD (yes i know i am like technologically retarded!!) and I want to get one for christmas and then learn how to use it!

I will learn my technologically based goals later in life by just keeping up with the times. I think that is all it takes. If everyone kept up with the times then everyone would know how to use technology in some way!

A computer security risk is any event or action that has potential of causing a loss of computer equipment, software, data and information, or processing capability. Ethics are the standards that determine whether an action is good or bad. Computer ethics are the moral guidelines that govern the use of computers, networks, and information systems. Technology has only begun to influence the way teachers instruct and students learn. Technology is broadening the way a student may learn so that means that education must also adapt to the new processes.

Since, my last posting we have went through the power point section of this class. I learned new things that will have me make a power point presentation faster now. Now, we are beginning the excel section and I think that I am going to learn a lot more.

Today I did some of my student teaching and realized how relaxed classrooms have become today. Many students can talk to their teacher on almost a friend level. I think this will be very beneficial when I become a teacher because I want my students to know that I am there for them no matter what they may be going through.
