1.) I found it interesting at the difficulty of some of the skills covered in the course. I like to think of myself as a fairly computer oriented person, yet I also feel that there were some confusing technologies covered in the course and in reading other students blogs I feel like they feel the same way. This has showed me that I still have a lot to learn as far as technology goes and how it can be utilized in the classroom.
2.) The technology skill I would most like to learn next would be the use of HTML code and how to run a website. I have always wanted to run my own small website and the use of the HTML code and other website tools would be invaluable and very helpful. I think I could also incorporate the website into my teaching, posting assignments or notes on it. An old professor of mine did that and it was extremely helpful.
3.) Hopefully in the future I can eventually learn the HTML code and one day operate a small site. I might take future online classes teaching the necessary software, or perhaps even more class at FSU. Whether or not it is in the near future or the distant I will definitely eventually learn the HTML and computer language.

1.) http://www.sliderocket.com/
I would use the SlideRocket application in my classroom to help the students in many ways. SlideRocket is a great presentation software that can be used easily by children. It comes with a very easy to learn interface as well as a step by step video walk through of the software which explains everything. This could be an extremely valuable tool for the children to use as opposed to PowerPoint and it could also help enhance their overall technological knowledge.
Not only can SlideRocket be used as an alternative to PowerPoint, but it can also serve to introduce the children to Web 2.0 software. It will help to introduce the students to the technology and the earlier they can become comfortable with it then the better off they are for the rest of their educational careers. I believe that the SlideRocket software could be used from elementary all the way up to high school and it could be very effective at all grade levels.
2.) I believe that Excell will prove extremely valuable to me as a teacher. I will use Excel as my main grade book and its calculating abilities will help determine the grades of my students. It's a good thing I know how to do it right! I might also even try to teach it to the kids as it could be very helpful to them as well.
