Week 7 reflection

What -Again this week, we worked on our webquest, this week we put the final touches on our webquest. It was nice having the class time to work on them. I was feeling very stressed about the assignment but everything was better after class.

So What - I really like making the webquest, again I don't like that we have to make it on a power point. It seems pointless to make a webquest on a powerpoint but I like power point so it is a good way to learn more about power points. Web quest are a great tool that we can use in our classrooms. Webquest 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-  I found out that the class I will be doing field in has computers for every two students, which makes webquest a possibility. We also are probably teaching on the branches of the government. I could have my class pair up and look up the different branches of the government on a webquest. Also My group is working on a plan for a literature lesson. I think it will be very helpful for students learning to write a paper.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.  These are a couple example of the many ways you can use webquest.

Video - I could figure out which video you wanted us to watch (school house rock nouns are person, place and thing) The link just took me to teacher tube, I typed "school house rock nouns are person place and things" it gave over 4,000 possibilities. The one I watched was of children singing in another language. I didn't really get anything out of this video.
