Class As Of 9/27

What?
This week in class, we learned about WebQuests and how to use and create one for your classroom. Our 4th Grade Group is doing our lesson based on fossils to fulfil a Standard requirement.

So What?
This will help me in my teaching career greatly because it not only gives a fun, new, and innovative way for students to learn something, but they are using technology to learn, which helps them to keep familiar with new technology and the current times. We are learning these tools in class to bettter help us to be prepared for the future and learn more about how we can keep out students' knowledge growing in more ways than a simple lecture.

Now What?
This is an excellent tool to use for the future because it brings a variety into the classroom. Plus, although the method of learning changes, the learning is still streamlined and controlled. Students will look at specific web sites, do specific activities, and yet be able to learn. This is also great because it gives students a chance to work hands-on, and can be used in a group setting or in a singular setting.

Video
Unfortunately, the video would not open on my computer. I downloaded it, but it would not open so I could not watch it.
