Digital Book

I have finally finished my digital book. I ran into a couple of issuse when doing my book. Powerpoint is not on my computer which made it very hard for me to work at home. My computer at school would not record sound and so therfore it was a little hard for me to do everything I needed to do for my book. My fear now is that when someone goes to view it, they want get to see it. Well now the good, the kids in my class had fun. They liked recording the sound and the fact they got to hear their own voices made it even better. Earlier this school year my class made a book and we turned our book into a power point. My students found their own templates, add text, clipart pictures and are now waiting to present their power points. I was afraid that my students would have a hard time with this. I guess my real fear was that I wouldn't know how to help them. I think I was a little afraid of technology. I have learned that you need to try things if you want to learn how they are going to work in your class you have to be willing to take risk. My students did very well with this project. I am hoping to use power point again in the future with my students.

Webquest worries


OK I have been working on my webquest for about 2 weeks now. I have probably changed it about 5 times. I have really enjoyed finding the sites that I want to put in my webquest, but I feel like I should have had more of a plan of what I was wanting to do. I have to write everything down, I think that my webquest would have gone more smoothly if I had done this. I am almost happy with what I have done and I am very excited to see my finished product. I have had the same issues with my digital book.

Webquest complete

I am very happy to say that my webquest on frog's lifecycle is complete. I choose to do lifecycles, because my students are getting ready to learn about them. I have done webquest in the past and feel very comfortable doing them with my students. After completeing my webquest I found lots of other resources that I could use with my lifecycle unit.
