Today in class

Today in class we researched no child Left behind act. After researching it i realized that there was not a Major increase in test scores. If theres not a significant increase in test scores i feel that it is a huge waste of money.

Day 23

Today in class we learned about smart and interactive whiteboards. I personally feel that they would be very helpful in classrooms,and i think they would save time in lessons that involve showing a video or accessing the Internet. Evidence that supports my view in the article is, "[Interactive whiteboards] can enhance any lesson and entice students to learn. With the use of whiteboards,teachers can develop many creative ways to capture students’attention and imagination" (Reardon 2002). That is how i feel 100%. I am a visual learner and i feel if i would have had a smart board in elementary school i would have made better grades and payed attention more.

Day 20

In class today our assignment was to find a webquest we want to change. The webquest i want to change is titled Bowling Webquest. The change im going to make is to explain how to bowl instead of only the history. Also i want to add pictures and change the dull color scheme.

Day19

Today in class we used web quest. We had to work in groups of four to collaborate on which project we felt was best. I feel that this assignment falls under section one benchmark c of the nets for students 2007. This assignment meets this standard because we worked in groups and explored complex issues to collaborate on. I personally don't like web quest very much. I think the directions are kind of unclear.

Day 14

Today in class Denise had us create a worlde with the words we described web 2.0 with. This was a very helpful activity. By looking at other peoples wordle's it helped me further understand what web 2.0 was all about. This activity falls under Innovation Is the 21st century skills website. This activity falls under innovation because it helped students who are not prepared for web 2.0 get prepared by looking at other peoples wordle's. Also we had to critically think as a group to come up with the words we chose to create the wordle.
