Week 14

This past week in class we have been finishing up our web quests. I have learned that web quests are very time consuming and require a lot of preparation. However, i do believe that they are an effective form of teaching. Even though they are a lot of work, web quests allow the students to explore and learn on their own. It also incorporates technology and allows them to become familiar with a subject in an effective and fun way. I am very glad i have learned how to create web quests and will use them all the time as a future teacher. I feel that it is a very effective way to teach and students enjoy them a lot. My pod created a web quest on a google site and although it required a lot of work, it has turned out very well!
The video this week was on school house rock. Even though these films were created years and years ago, they still are very effective and students enjoy them a lot. They are accurate and fun videos to teach your students basic topics that are important to learn about.
