Learning from Presentations
The presentations in class yesterday were all wonderful and inspirational. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone's WebQuests, Websites, and Movies. As I was watching the presentations I would find myself thinking of ways I could adapt what they had done to my class setting. Some people think that if a project is planned for an elementary classroom it cannot be used in a secondary setting, but it can. Just as an example, one of the WebQuests (sorry I cannot remember the name of the classmember who presented it) on Shopping Spree Winner was designed for an elementary school math class but I can see how it could be used in my clothing or finance class with high school students. The idea of being able to spend money and on clothing would definately appeal to my teenage students in the 9-12 grades. There were also a couple of the movies that I wish I could use in my classes. Teachers must continue to be learners in order to keep their classes exciting and inspirational for their students. I am hopeful that utalizing some of the technology tools that I now have in my teaching file will help make my classes more interesting for my students.

I agree with you about the presentations. When I was in high school, males didn't take what was then referred to as "home economics." So, I can't even sew on a button. I wish I could take your class! I guess if I can make a movie, webquest, and etc., then I could surely teach myself how to sew on a button! PS - Thanks for the nice comment on my blog.
