     I think that data collection or surveys using things such qualtrics, can be very useful to a teacher. As a teacher you can learn a lot about your students by asking them some general questions. Such an exercise on elementary school students would help them become knowledgeable on certain traits that they have. I would use it with my english class of second graders to help them write better essays, and become a more connected community as a classroom. Excel would help store the answers to the surveys and make them more accessible in the future.

     Something that I found interesting from viewing my classmates' blog is how involved they got with the course assignments. I am just taking this class for my minor but most of my peers are majoring in education. So the things we did on the blogs like the ILP, Diigo exercises, and the plenty resources we found will help them in their future careers.  I enjoyed reading and discovering the different ways they approached each assignment that would further help them.

     One technology skill I would love to learn next, involves a way better to use excel. I seen a tweet recently, that it was possible to translate on excel into different languages. I think that learning this would expand my mind to the additional benefits not always seen or used with excel. Also, by being able to use excel in different ways I can better do some of my projects for school. I intend to figure this out by researching how to do it online.
