I enjoyed learning (not totally proficient) about the two programs that we used yesterday. On the power point program- I am still learning how to use it (mainly finding where to find tools). I've used it last semester but on windows, when I thought I got the hang of it, I'm using a different computer (a more updated one). I think it will definitely be useful in the classroom for teachers and students when they want to show and tell, share personal experiences, pictures that won't be necessarily available in a certain time. (show summer plants, animals, and activities during the winter months.)
The inspiration program will help in organizing subjects or in teaching "how to". The tools are amazing and useful, I think students would find it more interesting and an appealing way to learn. Excellent programs to know how to use.
The only downfall would be for me to become comfortable to use and teach it, practice, practice, practice.

Your last sentence is a very powerful one--it's easy to lose the skills that we have been talking about this week unless you get a chance to practice them. That's why I am rethinking the assignments that I am going to ask you to do this fall, with the hope that we can continue to develop these skills for classroom use.
Your input has been very valuable in this process.
