Webquest part II/ We didn't start the fire video

We again worked on our web quest this week. We had a better understanding of our web quest lay out but still needed to figure out how to make all our podcast, video links etc work in power point. This was a very interesting and pretty are concept to grasp for me. I am also having a bit of trouble learning to use the new power point application, having to evolve from the program I learned on is proving to be harder than I had imagined.
I do feel that it was good for me to be challenged to learn and forced to move forward. I will need to stay up to date in technology as a teacher and be able to relate with my students to the changes we will see every year as we evolve with technology.
Once again I think that the web quests will be fun for the students to learn and explore. It also will be fun for the teachers to learn as they set them up and research what their student will need to be learning about. Our web quest is centered for Kindergarten students and I have been really excited as I have been going through and finding things for our future students to be learning about. I has been a good refresher and educational for me.
I hope to be able to set up web quest like this for my future kindergartners. I think it will be a good way for them to learn to use the computer but also stimulating educationally for them to learn about the different concepts that could be created in a web quest. They learn how to navigate through the power point but also how to organize and learn about their curriculum.

Video reflection:
First of all, I love Billy Joel! I love this video because it shows how over time everything in the world has changed and how people have changed and adapted to the change. The world is forever going to be changing, in technology, state laws, political thought, racism. It is amazing to look back and think wow, it really wasn't that long ago that we never thought we would have a black President and today we do. Some people still resist the change but it is monumental and awesome! I think that if the video continued to today it would show how far we have come as a people accepting one another and how far we've come in technology...surface computing?!?!
