Think of the productivity tools discussed in class and ways you have used them. (Word processing, spreadsheets, databases, presentation software, concept mapping tools, free productivity tools) I have mainly used PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Word in my classes.
How have productivity tools helped you be more creative? Doing the PowerPoint for the ED 527 class made me learn more about the creative aspects of the program. I am not very creative with Word, but have created a few unique and useful spreadsheets using Excel.
More organized? Excel is my organizational go-to program. I use it to keep ledger sheets for my cheerleading account and the junior class account. I also use it to determine exemptions at the end of the semester! I use Microsoft Word to distribute information to my students and to make tests.
More productive? Excel helps me to be more productive (My husband is a computer programmer and can write specific programs to meet my individual needs.)
How can you incorporate the learner-centered principles into your approaches for using these tools? Students can use PowerPoint and Excel as components to their final product when doing projects. PowerPoint can be used to present their findings and Excel can be used to show budget.
