This weeks adventure in technology was quite different from those of the past weeks! We created an Inquiry-Based activity for students to log onto the page (created in a Wiki) and follow directions and links. The students have access to the information through various media such as videos and informational sites.
I really enjoyed doing this activity through a media that we had already learned! It really freed me up to put effort into the content of my activity. I really saw this as a potential lesson that I could use in the future and not just a frustrating task that I will never again use. I love the idea of kids getting to do their own research through other websites than the ones they see all the time. They get to see information in a new way than teachers lecturing to them or reading about it in a book. This is exciting for children and I think it's helpful to get them engaged in the learning process. Overall, this was a good use of my time. It was great to learn on my own different websites on teaching standards and compiling the information into a lesson for the kids.
