Power Point

In the last few classes we have been exploring Microsoft Powerpoint and learning little tip & tricks that can be of use when using this program. We also learned how to imply these tips & tricks into your school curriculum.

Ever had a problem with a CSO in the education system? You might find the following of some interest. For our class project we were to choose a content standard in our content area that could be seen as problematic. Below you will find my presentation for said problem. I have uploaded my presentation to web using slideshare.

Instructional Tech. Class Map

This is our class map that displays all the locations that our students call home. Iw as not aware that such an application could be made and shared, but one would say that many new and innovative teaching methods could come from this! I hope you will find BatchGeo as interesting as I have!

My Personal Resume

Having previously created a resume on Microsoft Word, I decided to update it and upload it to Google Docs. This way I could have access to it anytime I wanted, especially at the spur of the moment. Feel free to take a look at my resume and get ideas or just...whatever... : )  Enjoy!

My Professional Organization

Being a music educator I am a member of Music Educators National Conference (MENC). This is a national association for music educators. You can find out more about MENC by clicking here.

The next event taking place for MENC is the Urband Music Leadership Conference (UMLC). The UMLC meets October 21–23 in Norfolk, Virginia. The Norfolk Public Schools serve as host school system and student performances will take place throughout the conference. Visits to local school music programs also are planned.

Symposium topics include mentoring, developing district-wide music in an urban setting, visibility for music programs and working with arts partners.

The National Urban Music Leadership Conference is composed of large urban school district music administrators, supervisors, curriculum managers of the fine arts, music teachers and others who are interested in improving the teaching, learning process and management of arts programs in large urban districts.

Excel Grade Assignment

Today in class we continued our exploration with Microsoft Excel. A pre-designed spreadsheet was made that contained student names, class grades and test  scores, and a project score. Our assignment was to determine the following information:
1. Minimum and Maximum grade for each assignment/test.
2. The range of each assignment/test.
3. The average score for each assignment/test.
4. The average grade per student.
5. The letter grade for each student.

Using certain formulas, the above information was easy to figure out. The class also learned what a "handle" was and how to use it. This made acquiring all the above mentioned information extremely easy and quick! Apart from just simply figuring these figures out, the class had to convert averages into letter grades for each student. Again, using the handle, this was very easy to do.
