My EDM 310 Blog Assignments are Now Complete

I enjoyed the class, I have learned a lot. I didn't know anything about Microsoft Access until I came to this class and you showed us step by step on how to enter and save the information and do the tables, and also Microsoft excel I know we complained about it, but it was well worth learning but those formulas was the worst thing to deal with but all in all our teacher got us through it. But I have learned a lot and thank you Mr. Wakeman, for being patient with the many questions that we asked each night about the assignments that were given.

iTunes University will be very helpful in the classroom it helps engage students in learning on the computer at their level or speed. iTunes offers one on one tutorial for the students and teachers to get a better understanding of information that is needed. There is recommenced curriculum for the teachers to help the students to learn better.

iTunes can helpful to my students because they can go beyond and see actual picture or videos instead of going to the boring library, and iTunes keep the children more interested than just reading another old library book. iTunes make everything come to life instead of it being so bland, it also keeps their imagination going.

Week 11

I found that incorporating an Ipod in the classroom can be helpful and hurtful to some students. As for the research that was done by Duke University the Ipod can be used as a digital multimedia that is carried with each student on a daily basis, this can help the students by recording the lectures during class, and study groups etc. The Ipod can hold massive amounts of information. I found that it is most useful in music class for students, whom can study the different types of music instead of just one particular kind of music. Some students found the Ipod to be of great use in the classroom.

The Ipod study show there were lack of awareness or knowledge of how to use the Ipod correctly, and for academic use only. During Duke's study there were problems locating the commerical sources for the information. The Ipod is just the beginning of the technology that teachers and students are able to incorporate in their classroom and the technology will only grow from here.
