Day 19

This day we used the ISTE standards. This day it falls under standard 5 a. advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology. I was the the technophile: You love this internet thang. To you, the best WebQuest is one that makes the best use of the technology of the Web. If a WebQuest has attractive colors, animated gifs, and lots of links to interesting sites, you love it. If it makes minimal use of the Web, you'd rather use a worksheet. I chose the grow school greens slide. There were a lot of fun colors and the links stuck out so you did not have to search for it. It was fun and easy to use but more importantly it was not boring. I would design a site like this because it was filled with links and great information, it used great information and used the internet well.

Day 17

Today we joined Bruceton's Five.

Day 14

We got in groups today in class and created a wordle using words that we felt described Web 2.0. We did this assignment fairly fast because the fact the website is a very useful web page. It is easy to use and easy to write about. Using wordle is easy and could provide for a fun activity in your classroom. Having students come up with nouns and adjectives that they choose for the topic is something students do not do everyday. It strays away from book work and keeps the students from getting bored. It falls under the 21st century Creativity and Innovation topic.
