In today's class we learned about Webquest. A Webquest is an inquiry-based activity for students to work with on the computer. A webquest has 5 parts: Introduction, Tasks, Process, Evaluation, and Conclusion. Webquest can be an individual assignment or a cooperative learning assignment. Students are not just looking up facts about a subject; they are using higher order thinking skills to inquire information about a subject. Webquest can be fun and engaging for the students making the learning process enjooyable instead of dreadful. I will incorporate webquests in my classroom to help the students have a fun and enjoyable learning experience.

Today was our last class. Everyone presented their portfolios that we worked so hard on over the last week. We also presented our web quest assignment to the class. Everyone's was great. Then we worked on putting all our assignments on livetext. I have really enjoyed being in this class and have learned so much about technology and how to integrate it into the classroom. Everything that I have learned will be very useful in my own classroom one day.
