Webquest 2

What?
This week, have still been learning about the Webquest. What caught my attention is that we went over a little bit more about hyperlinking. I feel that the hyperlink option is a very beneficial and necessary tool when working to create webquest.

So What?
I still feel that webquest are very beneficial to educators. I was thinking about it, and it is a very good way to create your own virtual field trip for your students. Also, to teach them about specific things that you want them to research on their own interactively. Educators in the arts can use this tool to help students understand specific elements in their fields. Whether it be music, drama, art, etc. By doing this, we as educators can help our students become interactive learners and keep them interested in what they are learning.

Now What?
For future students, webquests will be very beneficial to their education. In this time and age, our children have become digital learners. They tend to be interactive with technology. The best way that I feel to reach out to these students is to meet them on their level. This is digitally, if we as teachers learn how to do this, and how to do it effectively. It is my opinion that our students will be more interested in what they are learning. You can keep them interested, when otherwise they wouldn't. We are no longer in the age of everyone just sitting at their desk and listening to the teacher give a lecture, and then occasionally write something up on the black board. In many places today, their are schools that I computers just about in every classroom. Much like the highs school that I attended. The school that I graduated was named, Roy Miller High School, Center for Communications, Technology, and for the Performing Arts. Much of our curriculum was technologically based. We had digital learning labs on campus, and many assignments were done on computers. If I graduated in 2000, I am curious to see how they are doing things now. Again, if our students are digital learners, we must meet them there and teach them they way that they learn. This will make an effective educator.

Video Reflection
Idea Ad, "Education for all."
This video brought up a couple of thoughts in my mind. One of these was, education is for everyone one. Not just the wealthy or the middle class, of for people who just happen to live in prosperous countries. It is for everyone. Though, it is sad that there are places where education is not the greatest. I Feel though that through technology and the way it is now, and the way that it will be in the future, it could be very possible for a good education to reach to children in all the most obscure places in the world. Because, they deserve it just as much as anyone here in the United States does.
