As a teacher, surveys and data collecting is very important because they are tools students should know how to use. There are several ways in which surveys or tools like excel will be implements. For example, excel can be used by both the student and the teacher to collect data, calculate basic statistics, and most importantly to stay organized. For the teacher it is most likely to be used for the grade book while for students it will most likely be used for homework assignments. The most relevant geography topic would be population densities of certain areas.
From reviewing my classmates blogs, the most interesting thing I found was how everyone reinforces the importance of technology. With a constantly advancing educational tech world, everyone similarly finds Twitter and Diigo to be very useful. One topic that I found to be very interesting had to do with age and when technology should and shouldn't be implemented. Is there such thing as too young for technology?
The technology related skill I would like to learn next is anything related to videography! I think it would be really helpful to know how to really edit videos and self-recorded videos that can be implemented into powerpoint or presentations. I also think video blogging would be a really cool new skill to learn about. I will achieve this goal by doing more research online and slowly taking notes on what will be helpful in my future classroom.Creating a more personal experience through video can be very helpful for cultural geography topics to help my students connect with international teachers and influences as well.
