I would consider myself to be somewhat technologically literate. I have been playing with computers ever since the commodore 64 came out in the early 1980's. From there my experience from technology basically went from gaming system to gaming system until got into high school and took my first
keyboarding/computer class. I have taken several technology classes over the last 10-15 years, but I am really looking forward to EDC 5370 because I think it will be very applicable to my current position as principal at China Spring Intermediate. I manage the web-site, so if you check out, try and take it easy on me. I just try to keep it up to date as often as I can. I haven't had time to work on it this summer because I am taking 12 hours and studying for prelims.
I utilize technology every day at work. I would venture to say my greatest strength is Microsoft Excel. I love using spreadsheets to schedule students, analyze data, and keep up with my campus budgets. This past year, I started a blog of the school's daily announcements. These announcements automatically update to the school's web-site and scroll on my 55 inch High Definition television that serves as a digital greeting sign. When you enter the intermediate school, the first thing you see is a flat
screen television that scrolls the daily announcements, upcoming events, and pictures of the student body. The students and parents absolutely love it. One thing I would like to add to the digital sign is a welcoming video. I hope to complete this video as one of my assignments in this class so if you are an expert at making videos, I would welcome your assistance. Who knows, our amazing instructor may let us treat it as a group assignment...
