This is the fourth week of class, and we are starting a new project that will last the next couple of weeks. The new program is called WebQuest and I feel like I still have a lot to learn. I am still thinking about what ideas I should do for my theme. I know I am doing the assignment around 'Why is Math Important?' I could have the students do a task where they interact with other peers and have to answer certain question involving math. So far we have chosen a background, picture, and put all our links in the toolbar. The links are organized and in order. I have not had any trouble with this assignment yet because Mrs. Pan has helped up set up our WebQuest. I also used my own computer this week in class, and I observed other students around me having problems with the computers from the labs. The internet kept kicking them off or restarting. I think this assigment will be the most difficult, and I hope it turns out with all the links working.
Webquest would be useful in the classroom if you are giving the class a group project to do. The parents can have access to this page, so the teacher wanted to share information about the class.
The ISTE standards used in this assignment were:
Student learning and creativity. As students creativity is the most important part to this assignment. We have to come up with a little lesson plan to teach a certain grade level. The Webquest has to be creative enough for the future educator to allow the future students to express their creativity.
Digital-Age work and learning. We have worked with Google creating sites, but we learning to create another type of site. This one was more complex with linking pages to one another, and with a set procedure.
