BPC 110: Computer Application for Teachers
Throughout the BPC 110 course we learned to use different programs such as Word, Power Point, Excel, and Access. These programs will assist me in my future carrier as an educator in many ways. Word and power point will be useful in making flyers and signs to hang up around my classroom, with motivational sayings for kids, and remind them of the classroom rules. Excel will be a useful grading tool and access will help me keep all my students information organized. This course has taught me many useful tips about navigation on computer. I will always be a life-long learner when it comes to technology with all the changes and advances and will need to keep up to date throughout my teaching. Throughout the course of the semester I have found many websites that may be helpful for my future kindergarten students such as Star Fall and Jump Start that are full of learning related games for kids to play and learn with.

WebQuestThis assignment was designed to show us how to take our lesson plans and turn them into websites for our students and other teachers to navigate around and use. My webquest goal was to teach younger children about sea animals and will give them the chance to surf the web and research them.
