For our first assignment we are to post our thoughts on Chapter 4 and Webquest. Chapter 4 was more helpful to me because I intend to teach English in the public schools and the introduction to educational resource websites piqued my interest. I was excited to find such a helpful website as Webquest and I look forward to exploring it further in the future. One activity that I found that I liked was http://questgarden.com/109/11/9/100916115629/ . This activity helps students learn and understand figurative language. I plan on using it in the future!
Needless to say, well I will say it anyway, everything we are learning about in class is new to me. I have precious little knowledge of computers/electronic helps and I am grateful this class is opening my eyes to what is out there. This will be a tremendous help in the future when I have a classroom full of computer savvy kids!
