Prior to this assignment, I had never used Powerpoint to make a game like Jeopardy. It was very tedious and took me about three hours to complete which was frustrating at times, but I still did enjoy it. In the future, I could make things easier by creating a slide that has the buttons on it and then duplicating it, so I do not have to go into each individual slide and add the navigation buttons. I think it will be a great resource to use in my classroom in the future to pair learning with fun. I learned how to use the navigation buttons and how to disable linear navigation. I had always wondered how my teachers made Jeopardy games for quiz review, and now I know how!
I think data collection tools can be utilized in many different ways in the classroom. I plan to be a kindergarten teacher, thus I can imagine myself using surveys at the beginning of the year to get to know my students and parents. I could ask them questions about their preferences, how they feel about certain subjects, and overall just fun facts about them that they would like me to know. I could also use surveys throughout the year to gauge how confident my students feel in what they are learning. To do this, I would use one of the scale questions so they can choose answers like somewhat, not at all, neutral, etc.
I think a technology-related skill that I could learn to use in my future classroom would be managing classes on Google Classroom. I have never used Google Classroom in any of my classes in the past, but I do know that it is a popular way to manage assignments, announcements, and other things. I would measure this skill by knowing how to use all of the functions that the platform provides and then use it in my classroom. I think I could achieve this goal within a few weeks, if I set aside time to learn how it works everyday. This skill is relevant because it is something I can use in my class. I would plan to learn this skill before I became a teacher, so maybe the year before I set out to learn it.
