Class on 11-15

In class today, we watched a short video of a teacher using the internet in her classroom. We answered questions about it and talked about it as a group. I thought it was interesting, and it's good to get younger children using the internet and other technologies at an early age. It has become so standard that kids know how to use the internet, etc. so teaching them in the classroom seems the perfect place to have them learn. After the video, we worked on out webquests with our partner. I am working with Leland and it is coming along pretty well. We have found the website we want to base it on, and have the general idea of how we are putting it together. I think with just a little more time, we will be ready to present it and have it ready. It is weird how little webquests were available for math. Many math teachers must not like to use the internet in their classrooms very often.
