1) This project exhibits how teachers can use technology and infuse it in the curriculum, instead of just teaching Excel as stand-alone software. Give some thoughts/ ideas about using software in context of teaching subject areas instead of just teaching software separate in a computer lab.
- I think using software content of teaching subject area instead of just teaching the software along is an excellent idea. Teachers should use computer software to intergrade in their lesson plan. They should use the software to make lesson plans, puzzles and other activities to make learning fun. The fact is that students love to use computers. They love to do new activities and explore new ideas in the software.
2) Why it is important to keep parents informed about what is going on in your classroom?
- There are several reasons that we should let the parents know what is going on in the classroom. The first reason is that parents have their right to know what go ing is on in their child’s classroom. Second, parents involve is part of the learning system. Third, they can give more support to the teachers and students and school. We must always remember that students + teachers + parents = successful.
3) Do you think this project would help students to learn to use Excel and to learn vocabulary?
- Yes. This project really can help students to learn to use excel and learning vocabulary at the same time. This is the first time in my life do puzzle in excel. This is an excellent idea. I learn how to use excel by create a puzzle. This is amazing. If I will be come a teacher some day, I will teach my students to make puzzles and explore excel.
4) What would you do differently next time?
-The next time if I do this project again, I will not put the word inside the puzzle. I like this project. It’s fun and easy to easy.
