Powerpoint presentation

I was able to create a PowerPoint slideshow on some issues that are current to historial research. Here it is:


I had difficulty in completing this assignment on time because my trial version of MS Office expired early in March. I was able to complete the assignment on my mother's netbook on a visit to my parents' house.

This assignment most reflected ISTE NETS T Standard 3 in my opinion. This was a transfer of new technology for the students that were involved in this assignment.

Personality Profile 2

I completed the survey and I was way off on my guess. I scored highest as an artisan. I can see the results in the report, however. I tend to lead with an open ear to others ideas and I think this had a large impact on my score.

I believe that this profile assignment supports the second ISTE NETS T standard the most. The core of the standard is for teachers to design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning. By learning to get my profile, I gain in the aiding others in learning.

Personality Profile 1

I have taken personality tests in the past as part of other courses. They are a good gauge at a person's strengths and weaknesses.
I would guess that I would be in the order of rational, guardian, idealist, and artisan in that order based upon reading their descriptions. I am a pretty level headed guy so I think that would be the determining factor.

APA paper

I was unable to complete this APA paper at the time that it was due and did not have it completed by the time that it was graded at mid-term. I experienced an internet outage at my appartment building in the first few weeks of March that had me scrambling to catch up on material in all of my classes. It didn't help that the service workers kept giving me estimated times that they couldn't keep. I would have gone to my parents house that is only an hour away if they had told me it would be repaired after 5 working days instead of the 2 day estimate.

Spreadsheet 3

I was unable to complete this spreadsheet at the time that it was due. The links to the data for it were removed when I tried to catch up from an internet outage at my appartment building.

Spreadsheet 2

I completed the 2nd Spreadsheet and it is found at this link.

I believe that this Spreadsheet assignment supports the third ISTE NETS T standard the most. Section C states that teachers should communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. The Spreadsheet format is a new format for me to communicate.
