 Reflection
When
working with computers in the classroom,
just as with all other areas of learning,
the best way for students to understand
the importance of a particular skill is
for them to see it modeled by their
teacher. Computers are no exception. i use
computers on a daily basis both at work
and at home, and have experimented with
several applications for managing
classroom information.
I
have extensive experience using standard
productivity tools such as the Microsoft
Office suite (Word, Excel, Power Point and
Publisher) and AppleWorks/ClarisWorks, as
well as specialty applications including
Adobe Photoshop and Publisher. For more
detail on my technological experience, see
my resume.
I
have been a computer user since 1984, when
my family purchased our first Macintosh.
Since then I have developed my expertise
in both Macintosh and Windows
environments; I am equally comfortable in
both, and regularly convert files created
on one platform to the other. I also have
familiarity with the Unix operating
system. My students benefit from having a
teacher who can understand and assist them
whichever platform they themselves are
most comfortable using.

of Work
It is difficult to
demonstrate a proficiency in something
that doesn't leave any discernable
product. My student records are, of
course, confidential.
For a demonstration
in my skill with any given application,
feel free to contact
me.
