My thoughts on WebQuests

After looking at WebQuests and researching a little bit about them I can say that they can definitely be beneficial to students and teachers alike. I really enjoyed looking at sample sites in class. They gave me a perspective on what WebQuests for students looked like. Because of the exploring I got to do, I think that I can see myself using WebQuests in my future classroom as an added resource to the curriculum.

My views on Wikis, Google docs, and PBWorks

For starters, Wikis are very organized lists that I think I will enjoy using, especially when I am collaborating with other educators and classmates. I think Google Docs are handy and easy to access from anywhere. That's probably why they are used so much. It definitely makes me feel secure when I know that my information and work is stored in a place that I can access almost anywhere. I also think that in the future when I have my own classroom, I will be using a PBWorks page (or even a Wiki) as my own classroom website. Even doing one now for technology class with my ECE cohort allows me to keep in touch with everyone and gives me access to great teaching resources.
