Chapter 5 Reflection


In chapter 5, I learned about being able to identify, evaluate, and apply computer software. There are several computer applications that the chapter goes over and they all have a lot of importance for teachers. Software types like word processing software, electronic spreadsheets, data management systems, and presentation software are all common applications that are used and can be very beneficial to teachers. Word processing software is great to make newsletters, exams, or flyers within the classroom and has many tools to make great documents. Electronic spreadsheets are perfect for doing any kind of calculations like adding grades and finding the class average then displaying a graph or chart. Data management is an important tool for keeping data organized in a certain way. Presentation software is great for teachers who want to present their lessons in a different way and want to incorporate pictures, graphs, and sounds. All of these applications would be very useful for a future teacher.
