Week Two: Big Idea
=== As a technology teacher, the big idea I would like my students to grasp is to be able to use computers and technology to better their education and post-educational career. By understanding Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc...) they will be able to complete projects and homework with greater accuracy and professionalism. In this day and age, computer skills such as keyboarding and researching along with skills in other essential work place programs (Excel & PowerPoint to name a couple). ===

=== Another greatly important computer skill is the ability to research efficiently and effectively. One could spend hours researching and not find any info that is worth using in a project or paper. With research being easily transferrable to your own work, the threat of plagiarism is always a problem, especially with students who don't understand the way research and research projects work. ===
