Making a website was so neat. I have never done anything like this. You would think that is weird since I just graduated high school a few years ago. Most high schools have web design courses but we didn't. I am so glad I got a chance to play around with it because this is a very amazing tool to have. I had no idea google provided so many different things such as websites.
I had never even heard of a webquest before starting this class. Come to find out they are every where on the internet. This was a great thing to create because it is something I will use in the classroom with my students.
I really enjoyed making it and I think I will utilize this in the classroom with different thematic units as well.
Webquest on plants - This was someone elses webquest that was really neat, I thought.



I just bought these begonia's for my front yard. I love them! I love plants! (which is why I picked this unit)!

This was a fun project and I really enjoyed creating it. I think it will really help students learn the different parts and functions of a plant. Some of the questions were a little more difficult than others, so I did provide a link that will help the students complete this. I wrote in the directions that the students should try and figure out as much of the cluster as possible before going to the link. I am trusting their honesty that they will do this. :-)
I remember doing a lot of these clusters in high school to help me write an essay. Once the children have completed the cluster I will recommend them to keep the assignment on hand for a paper that will be assigned at a later date.
