Story flick presentations

SO today we did a presentation where we used three different websites. My group and I had to use picue trail. I think I'd probably be most comfortable using picture trail simply because i've used it before and so i know what to expect. I'd also choose to use rockyou simly becase we can include music in it and engaging music into the curricculum allows kis to be more aware of their expectations. all in all they were all really good =]

web quest

Today we presented our webquest projects and I thought it was pretty interesting how my classmates had such a variety of topics. Although the curriculum was rather similar, the topics were of great variety which made it really fun. I liked the ideas that other people had. I had fun using this program and I do plan to use it in my classroom. My students would probably create their own webquests in group and then allow their classmates to complete each others' activities on the webquest project. Or I could use it for big projects that would be rather time consuming and I would allow my students to work at the computer center and complete the activities. That way we aren't losing time in class to complete such activities. This was an awesome activity =]
