As I look back on our last five weeks of class, I realize the abundance of new technologies that I now have under my belt and the benefits of each for educators and students. First, I want to say how thankful I am for the understanding I now have about the invisible web. In addition, I hope to share this knowledge, along with my new found understanding of blogs, wikis, scavenger hunts, and webquests to better equip my colleagues and students.
On a professional level, I feel that blogs will be the most useful in collaborating with staff, taking part in professional development opportunities, and sharing information with other educators, parents, and students. I am also looking forward to sharing the websites we have been provided with to better prepare other educators while incorporating technology into their classroom environment.
In terms of my students, I am sure they will find the scavenger hunts and webquests to be extremely beneficial and educational. I also hope to use blogs as a means for students to post journal entries and share ideas.
I am excited to learn from others about the continued benefits and suggestions on these new technologies as schools transition creating tech savvy environments. Good luck to everyone in their future endeavors and thank you for all of the information you have shared!

Hi Jodi:
I have also enjoyed your blogs over the past 4-5 weeks that we have been in class. I can't believe that this class (and summer vacation)are almost over and the fall is ready to begin. I so agree with you in wanting to incorporate some of these things in class. We really have learned so much and are still learning.
Enjoy the rest of your summer and hope to "see" you in class during the fall.

I have never used a WebQuest. But I did create one for my final project. I had a lot fun putting it together, but it was time-consuming.
As for Scavenger Hunts, I have used both ones that I have made and ones I have pulled from the Internet.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Great Blog Jodi! I love your ideas and you "hit the nail on the head." I agree with you that blogs are most useful in communicating with other teachers.
Great work!
