Something I learned that I will use:
I learned a few things that I may be able to incorporate into my teaching. Because I only teach 1 class/day in PE and a majority of my job is spent organizing MS Sports & Activities, not many functions are especially applicable to me. That being said, the Garage Band and iMovie features will be very useful to me when I have to make a presentation to MS Students. I learned how to edit audio, extract audio from an inserted video, and how to overlay new audio to compliment the movie. This is something that I will definitely put into good use in the future.
I think these features, along with the Screencasting, will also be effective on days when I am not available to teach yet still want the substitute to cover something without having a waste-day.

Tim's Web Page for SIS Middle School Sports: http://sismiddleschoolsports.weebly.com/
I created this website because student-athletes were more likely to look at the internet than on the bulletin boards in the middle school. Furthermore, I HATED questions and emails on Friday evenings asking, "When is the jamboree tomorrow?" or, "What time does the bus leave?" I have been extremely happy with its effectiveness. I still receive those questions at times, but I just tell them to check the website. Done deal, it's all on them now!

My favorite tool that I've learned in class:
The Garage Band turns out to be my favorite, yet I still haven't thought of how I can apply this into my lessons or work as the Activities Coordinator. I had a great time, albeit at the expense of sleep, making my own track. I've always wondered how to use it and had tried to use it hopelessly last year. I wound up giving up on it because without any tutorial, I couldn't get anything out of it.
One thing I tried to do with it was cut a piece from a song that I wanted to use in an iMovie project I made using photos from Middle School athletic events throughout the year. I wasn't able to cut the song the way I wanted to, and thinking back, I am pretty sure I would be able to do so now. I may even be able to cut in a quiet, non-intrusive sound effect now if I am unable to match perfectly the front portion and end portion of the song remaining after I eliminate the middle. I suppose, while not in the classroom, that I will be able to apply this to editing music in order to better fit the movie/pictures that I am playing for the Middle School kids to see.
