Farewell Post

   The time has come to say goodbye :-/.  This was my first online course and I learned a ton.  Although I realized how easy it can be to fall behind, especially when you don't have class meetings to remind you of deadlines and assignments, it forces you to be more responsible and stay on top of your work.
   I have learned SO much from this class.  I had no idea the tools that are available on the internet for teaching.  I was always under the influence that you had to purchase specific software and eventually when it became outdated purchase newer products.  However, this course proves that there are multiple tools to help different types of learners understand coursework, and more, find it fun!  Great course overall!

Webquest!

    I've finally gotten a chance to post my webquest!  It was work using this completely new form of technology/internet, but at the same time interesting.  Webquests combine multiple assignments and tedious searching on the internet into an easy to use, effective tool.
    My webquest is for Pre-K students, so it is more elementary and requires the assistance of an adult.  However, I feel this still serve to be useful in introducing technology to students at a very young age.  This tool is even more effective for older children that can read and really dive into these assignments.  They combine the use of computers and the internet which children love with assignments they can find interesting and fun.  Overall, great tool and enriching experience.
