Looking back at expectations...

I definitely did learn a lot from 486. I enjoyed learning about all the Web 2.0 tools, even if I do not plan to use them in my class. I have been able to show a couple cool things to my brother which he did not know about! I enjoyed finding all the avenues  I can show off my niece!!
Ranking all that I learned:
1. PREZI!!! It was time consuming to make my first one, but I LOVE it for teaching history!!
2. Blogs/website- I really do hope to start a classroom blog and website.  I think they are very resourceful!
3. Wordle- I think this will be an interesting way to introduce a lesson or make an intro page in a prezi/powerpoint
4. Webquest- I think webquests could pay off if done right and get the students excited to learn.

Thanks for a good class Jeff!! It was a relaxing classroom that made learning new computer skills fun and easy!

Reflection on Scanvenger Hunt and Photo collection

I think the scavenger hunt and photo collection would be useful in getting kids moving around and being creative. The scavenger hunt could be used to make connection with social studies and the real world. The photo collection could be used in a membership blog to share pictures with the whole class. 

Reflection on iMovie and spreadsheet

iMovie was interesting to make but it was time consuming to figure out. I think if I was taught what to do it would be fun to create. I also am not the creative, so I limit myself in that way.
The interactive spreadsheet was a good idea for giving a quiz, but I imagine getting the whole class to a computer lab would be difficult. If I worked out the details, this would be a good way to give a quiz and students would have their grades immediately.

World War II Study Guide

I think this would be a fun way to give my students a study guide, because it shows them connections they might miss if I gave them a bullet list of terms and people to know.
