Post #6 Extra Credit

Chapter 6 touches on technology, digital media, and Curriculum Integration. When reading this I first wondered what curriculum integration might be? The book defines it as the knowledge, skills, and performance standards students are expected to acquire in particular grade levels, or through sequences or clusters based on subject matter units of instruction. Also interesting, a curriculum standard, or goal, defines what a student is expected to know at certain stages of education. It seems as if this chapter studies the things students will learn (technologically speaking) and in what stage of their education they will learn.

Since my last posting I have become better at excel. I feel more confident in the program. Although I think that there are a lot of different ways to make mistakes when using it. It seems that it is important to use the program in a particular way. I personally prefer to cruise along a program, figuring things out as I go along, but it doesn’t seem as if that would work very well with Excel.

I would like to share my opinions on SAM2003. I really dislike it. I think that the program has a few too many glitches and that sometimes it makes you off unfairly. I wish that there was some way to show an instructor when SAM makes mistakes, but unfortunately the program is faulty and there is nothing to be done about it.

The SAM program told me I was wrong after I looked on the Microsoft website for instructions on how to do whatever task it was.
