Webquest Reflection

I thought that my webquest was well organized and made it easy for students to understand the assignment and view the resources easily. I wish I had more money for this project, when a teacher has a lot of funds, it usually helps out a lot and makes the learning experience even better. I thought that the planning sheet really helped. I usually procrastinate and since it made me plan what I was going to do in the future, it made the process a whole lot easier when it came time to actually do it. I thought the peer evaluation was fun. I loved seeing what others had done and their creative ideas! I am really glad that we had this assignment, I didn't even know that webquests existed before this class. The Zunal program made it a lot easier and had a great format that is really teacher friendly. I would recommend it to anyone.

Geometry Stuff....

Today in class we learned all about photoshopping. It was great fun walking around taking some photos. It was even more fun learning about how to edit them and make them cooler. Comic life was really cool and made it really easy to edit images and add cool graphics. I think this activity could be relevant in the classroom, this would be a really fun lesson with students who are a bit older.

Web Application

Today in class, we searched for useful web applications that we could use in our classrooms. I was looking for ones that were both educational and really fun. For math I found a really great website at funschool.kaboose.com. There was a game called balloon popper, where they give you addition and subtraction problems and the answer is in one of the balloons that are blowing up, but you have to find the answer before it pops!

I found a great science website at www.ed.heads.org. There is a game where you play a weather woman or man, and have to put the right sign for the forecast on the weather board. It was really educational and I think that kids will really like it.

I think that these go under multiple standards, the first being Standard 1 in Educational Technology, for the math game it would go under Standard 1 for Second Grade Math. And for the Science game, it would go under Standard 1 for Fourth Grade Math.
