Webquest

I am fascinated with the fact that teachers get the opportunity to create ideas using web quest that get students to think outside the box. It includes cooperative learning for children, different areas of media, and current events. Although there is a certain format for web quest that a teacher must follow like the introduction, task, evaluation, process, and conclusion, web quest is one learning tool that students get a chance to be included in real life experiences based on the assignments his or her teacher creates.

Internet Safety

Major change does not usually take place unless something devastating happens in a person's life or something tragic occurs. It should not take a child to go missing in, or getting physical abused, in order for a parent to realize that Internet safety is prevalent. Parents should educate themselves on Internet safety and talk with their children as well. They should also be certain blocks that should prohibit children from certain websites.

Believe it or not!

We live in a age where technology is growing rapidly but believe it or not I never knew that standards and strands existed for technology and computers. You would think that certain things would have to be mandated or else it would not be implemented. Although it looks good it print as far as at the end of grade four that the fourth grader should be able to use basic technology vocabulary and use basic computer icons but must of this is not being enforced at home or at school giving the circumstances for which I work. So that lets me know that even though it is suppose to be implemented some school districts all not following what they are suppose to do. Or perhaps it is just my school district cant speak for all.
