Google Documents and Movie Maker Presentation

To me being able to save documents in different locations is a great relief to me. I use to email it to my self, or carry a floopy disk, or even a usb key. The problem was i could forget the disk or usb key, and even my email password. Also being able to do this will allow my students to access documents on the web, that if they forgot in school they would have no ability to view them.

Power Point Presentation

I have always used power point to incorporate technology in my classroom. I feel that it is a benefit to me and my students. I can use It to present information and media about that information to my students. I also have found that students like power points. It is also very help full to me with my special education students. I can print the show of, and provide it to them with notes, or whatever accommodations i need.

Page Creator

i have created web pages before, using Netscape. This process was so much simpler and easier. I am not big in having my own things out in the public for people to see. I believe outside of this class i will probably never use this blog or page again. As for my classroom i use scholastic.com and put my classroom subject matter there.

This is my page

FTP

I have messed around with things like this on my network when i was an undergrad. At my house in morgantown, my roomate was in networking, and set up a file share on our network, which we could get to if we went to hos homepage from any computer. I use to email everything to myself, but this is a much easier process. This is very useful, because you can work on/view your work when you have access to a computer. I did find this to be a little bit aggravating, because i have Internet explore 7, which makes this whole process a little more difficult.

This is my FTP version of my cover letter

What i know about a resume, is that it is not just a list of your achievments. Should your achievements be on them, absolutley. However, you should use them to point out why you deserve this interview, and possibly this job.

This is My Cover Letter

You can find my cover letter at the following link.

What i have learned about cover letters over the past two years, is that it sets the tone for whoever is going to look over your resume. If you have a good cover letter, it can open up the door for many job oppurtunities.
