Journal 6

Today, I had my third observation and the students worked on a heat capacity lab. Today was also the first day I saw my teacher use powerpoint even though all of her slides are on powerpoint and she covered the mole and was talking to me about programs she uses to write equations and dimensional analysis. She also does her "Do Nows" on powerpoint. It seems to save a lot of time for her and the students like it a lot. I also this week bought a flash drive (1 GB) for $20 and I was happy about taht, but not too sure how to use it with all the programs that come with it, so hopefully someone can help me. I have had trouble using my floppy disk on all computers to obtain data, so i'm hoping the flash drive will ameliorate that problem. Not much else new in the technology department, other than I will have to plan a powerpoint presentation for my seminar class.
