Week 5 Reflection

What - We learned about webquest this week in class. We learned how to make  a webquest and started working on one in class. We had the chance to brain storm ideas on the webquest that we will make.

So What - Web quest are a great tool that we can use in our classrooms. They are a great way for children to safely surf the web and explore certain topics. They can be used in any subject and allow for a great deal of creativity for the teacher and students.

Now What- My group is working on a plan for a literature lesson. I would like to use this or something like that in my class. The students will explore a website that teaches them about writing styles and then they will chose one and write a short story.  This is one example of the many ways you can use webquest. 

Video Reflection - (Surface computers) The video on surface computers, was really neat. That would be so cool, if someday we could have these computers in my classroom. I loved how they just placed the camera on the computer and it took the picture off, I am curious if you would have to have a certain type of camera, or of any digital camera would work. It looks easy to use. They said that somedays they will be everywhere, it our virtual world.
