Hey everybody,
I think I can use data collection and reporting as a history teacher as a way to check my students' knowledge about topics so I can better know what I should teach and what I can skip over. I could let them do a survey at the beginning of the year or semester, asking how well they know certain historical topics and ask them what they want to learn. This would help me better refine my lesson plan and make it a better fit for my class so I am not going over things they either already know or something they are not interested in. With data reporting, I think I would use it as a way to better visualize certain things for them to understand. I love visualizations, as seen in my two ILPS, therefore I would use excel to make some simple graphs and charts to show them a new way to look at the numbers/data.
My favorite thing when I was looking at other peoples blogs was looking at there assignments that we had to post about. Seeing every bodies website, PowerPoint and ILPS was very interesting because everybody is coming at it at a different and unique angle. As well, because we are all wanting and pursuing different grades and subjects it was cool getting to see how that effected their project. As well, learning about how people would used tech in their classrooms was a really good way of canvasing different ideas that maybe I could use further in my career when I am a educator.
I would really want to learn the skill of coding so I can have it further in my career. I believe my generation or class group was at the very beginning of making coding such a big topic to teach kids and having them learn the fundamentals in elementary school. I learned something like it, in my 5th grade computer class with a Lego robot but after that I didn't learn much. I want to learn coding in case I want to create a better website by myself or create a program for my research that would need some type of coding in it like argGIS which a geographical program. I could learn coding through a variety of ways, one being through LinkdenLearning cause I saw a lot of coding videos there for beginners. Another way is through YouTube videos, the only problem with both of these is that I would need to find a program to start coding with, so there is a lot of places I can start from and I am eager to get going.

Find MOOC courses for learning coding, too. Any specific programming language in your mind? I am thinking to learn Python for data mining. :-)
