school web page!

When I heard that we had to create a class home page builder, I was at first a little frightful. I did not know exactly what I was getting my self into. I thought I will need so much assistance with the project. However I actually liked the whole set up of things. It was not stressful.When it came down to downloading images, inputing information and logging in and logging out, I was amazed at how simple it really was. I enjoyed this project!

Creating a web page

I have found that creating a web page thus far is a lot easier than I thought.Althought it can become very frustrating at times, I love the fact that it walks me through things step by step.

Web based Educational Resources

The kids inside of my classroom love starfall.com. This web based educational resource is perfect for the classroom during center time and it is also fascinating to the children. It helps children to build their reading skills all along while catering to one or more of the children's intelligences. For example, while reading the words or pronouncing vowels the children can sing along to one of the songs while gaining the concept that needs to be mastered. I also like the fact of while the computer reads a word, that particular word is highlighted. This lets the child know that is the word that is being pronounced.
This also builds the child's computer skills up on the computer.

Inspiration

I wonder who came up with the term inspiration to express the concept of a software that allows students and teachers the opportunity to create visual representations of any type of relationship. Whomever it was, it is an amazing representation and great name for it. It is believe that most people are visual learners and if that is true, this representation which is sometimes called webs or flowchart can work wonders for children who strongest intelligence might be visual/ spatial. This demonstration can be used by teachers to explain a relationship or used by students to show understanding of a relationship. How great it is to use Inspiration inside of a classroom!
