WebQuest #1

What? This week we learned about web quest. A web quest is basically a website you can create for your students. The website should be designed to be a lesson plan for your students.

So What? As a teacher I can use a web quest to set up a unit of lesson plans for my students to do at home by themselves. As a student a web quest would be nice because I could see step by step what I am suppose to do for a certain student. As a colleague I show exactly what my class is doing so other teachers can take my ideas for their students.

I think we are doing this because this is a great way to keep your lesson plan organized and accessible for your students and others. I wish I can web quest in other classes because then it would be easier for me to know what to do. I can start making my web quest now so that I wish have a great collection for my students when I become a teacher. This technology is a great idea for all so that ideas on lesson plans and be borrowed and made better.

Now What? This technology will be great for my future students because they will be able to understand the lesson plan and have many more links for further study. I had never heard of web quest before this class and I am very excited to use it and make many great lesson plans for my students to come.

I hope making web quest will make be a better teacher because I know I can come with fun and extensive ideas for lessons. I can make many lesson plans that my students can collaborate and work together on. Since the whole lesson plan will be on the internet they can do at in the comfort of their own homes. My colleagues and as a department as a whole can see exactly what my students are learning and use it to help their students. We can show what we are learning as a school. I think web quest is great because their is a teacher side and a student side. So that other teacher can turn around and use these ideas.

Video Reflection: Surface Computing
This video shows the smart board with a touch screen. Instead of using a mouse you can use your hands to touch these, grab things and move them around. This computer really makes things easy for you. It also give you greater access to what you can do. I think would be nice as a teacher because it gives the students a more insiders view to what they are looking at on the computer and on the net.
