Webquest

Over the past 3 weeks we have worked on our webquest. Webquest is a great tool in the fact a teacher can manipulate it to create projects, reviews, quizes, and test for thier students. It is very efficient for a teacher because once the teacher has created a webquest the students have the task, proccess, and how they are going to be evaluated all in one place so there is no confusion.
Here is a link to my Webquest

The webquest applies to teaching standard

3a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations.

Having a teacher create a webquest allows them to test the students on what they know and create a project for the students to learn more about a certain subject. It also allows the students to advance their experience with new technologies and researching based on what the teacher incorporates into the webquest.

Voki

Today we created a Voki and then costomized an avatar. We used this avatar to speak some of our educational philosophy. Here is a my Voki video

Todays assignment addresses teaching standard

2a.design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.

By using Voki in the classroom I could possibly attract the students attention by them hearing a different voice rather than mine but still presenting the information I want. This could also could be used as a tool to teach a lesson online without me having to explain it to them with me in the room.
