Reflection on Software

I believe it was beneficial to take the time and learn the software because I did not really know how to use Microsoft Publisher as well as Inspiration.  It would have been nice to know how to use both of these software packages earlier because I would have been able to use them for some of the methods classes I had to take.  It would have made my work a little easier.  I believe all of the software will be beneficial because as a teacher you have to keep lessons fun and exciting for the students or they will get board.  I believe some software packages are easier to use for certain projects that the students are doing as well as a project a teacher is working on.  The software will help me as a teacher to keep the students excited about learning.  The more the students are excited about learning the more they will learn as well as the more fun/easier my job as a teacher will be.  This will also help me communicate with parents/guardians because most of the people in the world now have a computer and it is easier for them to look things up on the computer.  For example instead of sending all things home I can update a website for the class as well as sending the information home.  Many parents are busy with work and it is easier for them on the go to check a website to see what their children are doing in school as well as what is coming up at school for their child.
