Week of Sept. 8

This week we only had class on Tuesday (the 8th). We worked mostly on our Web Resource Database Project - which is very time consuming! We also went over webquests. I had never heard of webquests before, but I can already see how helpful they can be to teachers. I think that the Web Resource Database Project is an excellent way of introducing us to such resources that are available to teachers. The resources that I'm finding are very educational, yet very interactive. I think that they are the kinds of activities that would get kids' attention, but it would still allow them to learn. As time consuming as this project may be, I do think that it will be beneficial and I could possibly even use some of the resources I'm finding in the future. The ALEX website is also very helpful, and I am sure that I will be using that many times in the future (especially in college, when forming sample lesson plans!).
