PODCASTS

I have used podcasts before and found them to be really helpful because it is extremely flexible. It is easy to use and you can create your own to do projects. I think it would be a lot of fun to do a lesson on something where we had to create a podcast as part of the project.

WIKIS

I thought it was fun to use the Wikis. I have never done it before and I found it to be extremely helpful. I enjoyed being able to see what others were doing at the same time as me. We could work on a project together if we were doing a group project. I really liked the idea of being able to change things others wrote. Just because it made it interesting and fun.

Digital Photography

I missed this one because of the good old whitewater rafting adventure.

Web Evalutaions

I only used the one cyberbee evaluation form because I couldn't get the others to work. I got the schrock to come up but I couldn't save anything on it. I really liked both of the options it just worked out the first one was the easiet to use.

I realized that pictures are great way to do a link. I think doing an evaluation of a website can be a useful tool to weed out all the invaluable information. I probably wouldn't use an evaluation form on websites that are secure and easily identified as legit.

Spreadsheets and Google

This was kind of confusing at first but after we got it all worked out it seemed to go pretty smoothly. I really liked how I could use my google account to do everything. It worked nicely together.

Web Quests

Project Based Learning is great because it allows students to see different students points of view on things as well as the students are able to apply their learning to things that interest me. Problem Based Learning is a great tool for students reasoning and trying understand different problems and working through them. Inquiry based learning is a helpful tool to get students to be active in their learning so it isn't just lecturing all the time.

Web quests are a combination, but I think as a student you are searching for answers to questions. I like this type of learning skill, because it can be fun and interesting for students. I am excited to do it.

Copyright

It is always important to know your copyright laws. It is never a good idea to get yourself in s position where you could be accused of copyright infringement. I did pretty good on the quiz, but it was a great refresher for me.
