Chapter 4

Input devices and Output devices are an important part of using a computer. If we did not have keyboards, a mouse, or pointing devices we could not tell the computer what we wanted it to do. Similarly, with printers, monitors, and fax machines we would have no way of getting our information presented. These devices will be very beneficial in the classroom as well to familiarize students with technology and give them handouts and information as well.
Why is it that teachers always seem to gang up to give you a test in the same week? That's one bonus to having an education major is that you are always around teachers picking up tips and skills that you may or may not use one day. If I am at a school where students rotate I will communicate with the other teachers so that they don't get swamped with tests on the same day.
Since last blog I have learned how to make a newsletter, quiz, and flow chart. I am sure all of these will be quite useful in the future. While I was making these different education related pages I was excited about getting to make real quizzes, newsletters, and flow charts one day.

i agree with the comment about all the tests and such all in the same week...it sucks cause some weeks i have no homework, then the next im slammed...i know exactly how you feel!

Yeah, teachers should try to communicate with one another, but when you attend a school with 40,000+ students it gets kind of tough. I think it would be alot easier on a middle school or high school level :)

I completely agree with you! Ever since I can remember teachers plan everything for the same week and it is like they are trying to stress you out for the fun of it! I have had so many "hell weeks" this semester and we haven't even been in school that long! Your chapter information was also very good.

Good call on the point about communicating with other teachers about tests.. It's so hard when you'll have so much going on even within 2 days and they have no idea that theyre basically killing you! haha The other thing too though about that -- other students technically have an advantage and dont even know it because they may not have as much going on at the same time. blahh point is: I agree.
