Haha, so I guess we're supposed to actually answer a few questions on our blog. Oops! But I maintain that it's not my fault ... I got an email telling me to do this this morning. So here I go!
Something that works best for my program ... I would have to say that I love the links. I think it's really cool that I can link other websites or webquests to mine so my students can use those as resources.
I wish that I could make this lesson plan something where I can use technology to enhance instead of only using technology in the lesson. Does that make sense? While I was writing my lesson plan, I came up with all sorts of things that I could have my students do that didn't involve technology, so I kinda wish I could have used that somehow.
The peer evaluation and planning sheet were very useful to me. I wasn't sure how I was supposed to set the webquest up or how many resources I needed and things like that. I thought the planning sheet did a good job at helping me see what I needed and giving me advice on how to make it better. Feedback is always a good thing.
I have learned that you have to really think about what you want the kids to know. You can't just make up a fun activity and do it ... the activity needs to mean something and there are a lot of ways to help that happen.
Uhh ... I hope this is what I was supposed to do! Later ...

I think doing the webquests make it easier to stay focused on the topic.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you that you can't just throw something together for your students. It takes planning and preparation. It is amazing to me that so much goes in to planning a lesson but the most basic thing is just to decide WHAT you want them to learn! Cute webquest by the way ;)
ReplyDeleteYour links really are fun! Except I tried to play the cloud matching game before I actually found out what the clouds were called. Bad decision. I lost.
ReplyDeleteI think that the links are great, too! This way, the students won't be spending more time trying to figure out where to find the information than actually doing the research.
