#10 - ITS THE FINAL BLOGGER

Data collection is useful in many different fields! In the educational field, I believe data collection is useful to both teachers and students. As a teacher, if I sent out a survey or other form of data collection to my students I could see what my students like and dont like. Knowing what they're interested in or find boring helps me as a teacher because I can adjust my lesson plans to something more appealing to the class while keeping them informed. If they are more attracted to a lesson plan, the more knowledge they will retain. For me, if I gave my students typically in a younger grade a survey on what type of assistive technology they like in the classroom, I would appreciate the results because my kids with exceptionalities require assistive technology daily.

My favorite part of the blogs is when the prompt asks for a classmates opinion on the latest project. I enjoy reading that part because it includes the educational technology part of the blog but it voices my classmates' thoughts and emotions more freely than the rest of the blog. I also enjoy putting my opinion because maybe it helps the professor adjust or understand a perspective of a student that is following an assignment.

There are many other techonology-related skills but choosing a specific one is hard. Maybe being more proficient in Publisher would be useful? My mother uses Publisher at her job as a Director of Sales for a hotel and she has always suggested I learn how to use it for any future career. It would also help in my teaching profession as it would keep everything organzied and looking fancy haha.
