Databases and Spreadsheets

Databases and Spreadsheets
I use Databases to store communication lists of my students and their parents. My English handouts about grammars and the worksheets of students are also kept in my Databases. Besides, I save students’ information and their discipline records in Databases. My students use dictionaries in their Databases to learn new words. They also save music and film they took in Databases and edit them for their dancing competitions. I put all the photos I took here in America in Databases and also post some of them on my blog. I intend to use many pictures and edited music to make a report about my life here to my students.
I use Spreadsheets to calculate my students’ grades and the budget of my class. I also use them to create seating charts and schedules. My students use Spreadsheets to plan the budget for their fairs, and to calculate their grades of many different subjects. I would help students to calculate their budget for the coming graduation trip with Spreadsheets.

About WP

Knowing that applying technology to today’s education is almost a “must”, I am hunger to learn, yet anxious about how far I can achieve. Honestly speaking, I am not good at using Blog, Youtube, or any other kinds of media to teach. I often use Word Processor to type handouts for grammar, to make worksheets for students, to mail schedules, messages or letters to parents and to make quizzes, tests and exams . I also play VCD, DVD or teach English with USB and my computer in class.

My students also use Word Processor to make compositions and reports, do homework and assignments, and edit photos and music.

One of my colleagues at school uses her Blog to teach English. It seems that she puts a lot of informative and learning resources on her Blog, so her students can log on her Blog, “play”, have fun and learn. She also asks her students to do grammatical exercises on her Blog, make records, and leave messages. I didn’t know how she did it, since I was a “ computer illiterate” then, but I envied her a lot. That’s what I want to learn, and I am glad that I am now learning about it.

With WP, I’d like to post my handouts and all the information I have about teaching English on my Blog (including pictures, DVD I make for students…etc.) Some of the handouts can be reorganized and redesigned as grammatical exercises. I am thinking of putting some fun and effective cartoons to make the exercises interesting and encourage students to leave constructive suggestions to me. I am sure my passionate junior high students will love to try and respond.
