Today we got to look at different websites that we could use to create different puzzles for our students. It was fun because now we have a lot more tools that we could use to help us when we become teachers. I liked it because it was simple and all we had to do was think of the words to input. Because it is so fast teachers could even use it as a filler, for example if your bilingual teacher is absent the teacher could just go online and create a quick puzzle for the students. This helps students learn because you could make it meaningful and connect it to your lessons in the class and what a better way for students to learn then through a puzzle they love to play games.

My Life Timeline activity
For Class today (2/14/2009) We were assigned to create a time line of 8 important dates in our life. it was fun and i liked how we could do it on the internet. i liked the website but i think it would have been better if we could have been able to save it online. so that we could have accessed it another time. This website would be useful if you need to have your students create time lines in your class. you could even use it for like an icebreaker activity to have your students introduce themselves with a time line.
WebQuest Project
For Class last Saturday(2/7/2009) we were instructed to create a WebQuest project in class. It was a great experience. We had to come up with a project to post on our WeQuest page so that when our students access the WebQuest they can see what they are supposed to do during their assignment. we were instructed to complete an introduction, task, process, evaluation, conclusion, and the teacher page. We decided to use Animals as our theme and have the students research the different types of animal groups around the world. This was a really great activity, i wish we could have a chance to do this in the public school because not only will it give the students a chance to use technology, but it will also give them a chance to practice how to research online. I enjoyed it because it is another new resource that i can add to my list of teacher resources for when i begin teaching.
