Chapter 6 was helpful because it explained ways to incorporate technology into the classroom. This chapter talked about changing instructional strategies and letting the students have a more active role in the learning process. Using technology as a method to teach a lesson is helpful, but having the students use the technology is also important. This chapter described one benefit of integrating technology into the classroom is that it encourages students to think not only in words and pictures, but also in colors, sounds, animations, and more. In one-computer classrooms, the teacher must plan to maximize the effectiveness of that one computer. This chapter tells teachers that have one computer to project computer demonstrations and presentations on a large screen television or display monitor. I enjoyed this chapter and the ways I can use technology in my future classroom.
Recently I have been using my computer more than normal due to school and outside activities. I am Homecomming Chair for my sorority and I have been using Excel spreadsheets to take attendance for different activities. I have learned more ways to use Excel spreadsheets and they have been very helpful for me so I can have an organized listing of attendance.
This past weekend was Parent's Weekend and so I spent a lot of time with my family. Even though my parents live here, we don't see each other that often because they live 35 minutes away. My mom loves tailgating with me and my friends and she loves meeting my friend's parents. We didn't go to the game because it was raining, so we went to a friend's house and watched it on TV.

That's awesome that you got to hang out with your family. My parents came my 2nd year for parents weekend and they vowed never to come back for another parent's weekend. But they do not mind a regular game weekend. i don't get it.
