I think Excel is a really cool tool that most kids have no idea how to use. I think this is partly because it was never really integrated into our curriculum. I was taught the basics of Excel, but far to early to truly understand it. I think survey's would be a really interesting way to get feedback from students on how they're learning and developing. In the setting of an English classroom I would use the survey as a tool to see which books the kids enjoyed more, which lessons stuck more clearly to them, and which ones they would read again if they had too.
I really liked viewing other people's blogs because it really gave me the sense of what kind of teacher they will become and how they will use technology in the classroom.
I think the next technology related skill I would like to learn how to use is Photoshop, we really covered a lot of the technologies here that are important to us as teachers. I think that learning Photoshop would just be a really interesting thing and maybe I could use graphic design as a lesson plan of some sorts. I think I can probably self teach this, if not I will go and sign up for some classes and learn more about the technology.
