February 20th

This week we are actually doing our webquests. I think that I am probably going to have a lot of trouble with this. I am not that good with computers and I think that I am going to have a lot of trouble connecting links and attaching files. I also do not know how I am going to make my topic, Thomas Edison different from other web pages about him. I think that all of the information about Edison is probably similar so it might be difficult to be original. I think that is probably something that a lot of teachers struggle with though. It is probably hard for them to make the subjects that they are teaching original and exciting. I am sure that there are some lessons that are almost impossible to make exciting, but I wish there was a way to make them exciting because that would inspire more students.

I will have a hard time with this assignment as well. I am doing my WebQuest on the Palmyra Massacre. How do you make an exciting lesson plan about that? I will have to do some research and try to come up with something. Right now my head is in the clouds about this assignment. I hope somwhere along the way we learn more on how to develope a lesson plan and make is some what interesting.

I am laughing because if you are going to struggle with the WebQuest - I am in trouble. I am going to do my lesson plan on the indian boarding schools and the injustices they endured in the name of education.

Good luck with your WebQuest.
