This week we worked on our final touches of our web quest. Through this process I have really learned how to use web sites, research and patience to create a fun activity to help students learn about a subject. The web quest so far has proved to be the hardest thing for me to create in our class. Although, I have really enhanced my skills at using Power point, which I am grateful for because we will use it frequently in my teaching career.
With the web quest skills I have learn, I think it will be great to create many fun adventurous activities for my students to use to learn a new subject and to help their research. Students will really be engaged and want to grasp their content if learning was made fun through web quests. Students seem to want to learn more with visual and audio examples and web quests are a great way for students to experience research through a visual and audio experience.
In my teaching I will use web quests probably once every four to five months. I don't want to over use the web quest because student may get burned out on them. I want it to be a treat and so I would spread out the use of the web quest to keep students excited. I think it would really be a fun and engaging activity for my students to use. Web quests are great!
School of Rock Reflection:
School of Rock is a great way to teach students different key concepts. I love this video on Nouns, it is so catchy and the song sticks in your head. Students will have the song stuck in their head and inevitably remember all the important things about a noun. I know for myself after watching school of rock I often come away singing and remember the lesson they taught. I still remember exactly how a bill gets past and now the concept of a noun.
