Yesterday in my class I made a website where I will be putting the students work onto. I created a page just for their work to go on. I have uploaded Matt's work onto my web site so that others can see what work I have helped with.
I have included a calender so the students can see what is coming up next. I will be putting information on this website until the end of the year, I will be putting other students work on my website so others can see what they have done in their class.

I think that the most challenging thing for a teacher in the Comm Tech class is working with a bunch of students that really don`t know anything about the computers, the programs and the equipment used in the classroom. The behavior could be an issue if the students got really board and started to just fool around and not do the class work. The communication could be and issue because if there is only one teacher in the class and more then 1 person needed help at one time and the one that the teacher was helping was a big issue then the other students would be just stilling around really not doing anything, but this happens in a lot of classes not just comm tech.
The classroom layout could be an issue because the teacher can not see everyones computer to make sure that the students are working on their work and not just playing games, watching videos or taking pictures. Challenging thing I see in the classroom to the students learning is that some of the supply teachers really have no clue about the programs on the computer and are not much help to the students when they need help. I think that when i help someone that dose not understand something I should show them how to do it then make them show me how to do it so I`m not just doing it for them. It might help the students learn it better.

Over the past three weeks I have been gathering information on the questions that are asked most. Some of the questions include; how do I get my picture into PowerPoint? and how do I get the picture in to Photoshop? I have also been helping out the students with their PowerPoint on Internet safety and Classroom rules.
When the new group of students came into the class they were learning about the different things that are on the computers. They started out using PowerPoint and they are now using Photoshop to create there “Resize Me” Project.
Today I will be making a list of the questions that are asked, and will be making tutorials about them.

Today we went over some of the things that have been done by senior students. They saw some of the grade 11 posters and the grade 12 magazine covers. We went over class rules and Internet safety yesterday so that they could include the information in their power points.
Today I helped one of the students catch up with the work that she has missed over the past couple days. I showed her where to find the assignments, how to get on the server, how to find PowerPoint and how to get the tool bar in PowerPoint back to the side of the screen and not hidden.
I’ve been learning how to deal with the students in the comm-tech room. Helping them learn how to use apple computers and the different programs that are on these computers.

It’s the last day for this group of grade nines (section 5) in comm-tech in their rotating Intergrated Technologies. The grade nines have learned the basics of comm-tech while they were in this class. They learned how to do a CD cover which they have to make 3 different panels (front, spine & back) and they have to convert them into one image, make a poster using Photoshop, they have produced a Knock-Knock joke and also made themselves a song using Garage Band.
I will be learning where the weaknesses are in the programs and will be making tutorials on what are the most asked questions. I would mostly like to get the experience learning new things, helping out with people where they are struggling. I would also like to get to know how different people learn differently and the different types of learning styles. I like to learn new things and I am really looking forward to making tutorials.

Today Ms. Grinnell and I went over the course outline. I am going to be making tutorials in screenr and posting them on you tube or vimio. I will be creating a blog on what I do on day-to-day basics. Which will also include photos of myself, helping out in the class, and changing the size of the photos in iphoto
I will be creating a web page for comm-tech in the school using free webs were I will post things like students work to show what they do in class. In this course I will be working on Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word. I will also be helping out by helping people that don’t understand how to use the right tools in the right software programs.
