Class #3. Creating Sites and Stuff.

So class today was (or more accurately is, as I am typing in class) a very interesting and incredibly confusing class. We started working on making spreadsheets and creating multiple choice worksheet things through gmail. That site has everything. This part was actually very straight forward and simple to figure out.

Unfortunately I am not technology minded, and this was a confusing class. For starters I ended up losing the video url I found through youtube for our project, and got quite behind the rest of the class. Then I slowly started to despise the layout that I had spontaneously chosen for my site (since I figured I could always change it later) so I will probably end up deleting it and making a new one. But I have confidence that I can catch up.

In reality all of this stuff really isn't incredibly difficult. But getting used to it does take some time.

We then worked with Windows Media Player. Luckily I have at least a rudimentary knowledge of how the program works, so I am rather confident when working with it.

We also talked about what it means to be a critical thinker, and how we can develop critical thinking skills in students. In class we watched a video about what it means to be a critical thinker, how to be a critical thinker, and what can happen if we are not.
