Excel

I really think that Excel is a nifty program because it can be used for so many things. So many professions can utilize excel and make it make their life easier. As a teacher it can be used to input grades, chart individuals progress, look at the class' progress as a whole. This can be very useful as a teachers tool. As a teacher you will always know where your students are at and you will always be able to tell them as well. This will even help you personally as a teacher to track how you are doing. This can also show you if most of the class is just not getting it that maybe you should re-evaluate you r teaching strategies. You can also always gage what that student will need so that they might get the grade that they want. Excel is also excellent in it's ability to make calculations for you instead of you sitting there with the calculator trying to figure everything out. This makes life a lot easier. So I definitely recommend using Excel to help organize your business or profession.

On the flip side I wanted to also comment on the assigned article that we were to read this week. I had never really stopped to think about what's the best way to search a topic? Or how credible that source may in fact be. I usually just thought that if a site looked like someones home page then I had better not trust it. Otherwise, if the site looked professional then I usually trusted the content within it. This article gave some great advice on how to search and how not to search for content on the web. It had also listed some great resources for both students and teachers. I in fact found things out like searching for the same subject in different search engines will yield different results.This is why we should pay attention to which search engine we choose for certain content, anyways, the list goes on and on showing how to uncover valid information when trying to research a topic. I found this article very useful especially since I am going into the teaching profession.
