This chapter contained information that will be very useful in a classroom setting. Some of the software I have used. Some I have heard of but have never had the opportunity to use. I have used Easy Grade Pro,
different assessment report generators, and very basic Microsoft Word applications. The school that I'm at has just started to use an attendance program that will be entered daily on the computer. We also use a program that assigns substitutes to teachers. This has been very helpful and successful since it was implemented.
I was surprised to learn of all of the possible uses for spreadsheets and also for teacher as well as student presentations. I had always thought of a presentation from the teacher's point of view. I was excited to learn that student presentations were not only beneficial for them to learn the process, but the presentation also helped to solidify the content area for the student.
I'm looking forward to using some of the software applications that are discussed in this chapter. Again, I think that they will be beneficial to students as well as teachers!
