Lesson 2

This lesson was fun create. It's really interesting to see all of the tools that are out there on the internet. I think this is a great resource and fun way to teach and create.

So check it out!
The United States and Bodies of Water

This was a fun activity to do. I think this would be a great lesson to do with students. It will help them find angles and shapes in the real world. I also liked the comic life program was really easy to use and fun.

It was interesting to have to evaluate different aspects of websites. Its really nice when you can find who has made the website to see how legit it is. Its also important for the website to be user friendly, where links are working properly. Its great when the website is organized and things are easy to find.

I really liked learning about making surveys online. I think it is really a great tool and you could definitely use it in the classroom with your students. You could use it to get to know them, or as a tool for them to get to know their fellow classmates. I also did not realize that you could create spreadsheets with google. I think that it is great that they set it up so that the info from the surveys would automatically be put into a spreadsheet. There is so many tools availabe and you can definitley find a way to incorporate them into your classroom in various ways.

Take this random survey!

Last week's class about google docs was really interesting. I think the activity was alot of fun and a good way of showing the collaberating components of it. I was telling my friend about google docs who does a lot of writing and and attachments through email for her major. She really loved the idea and wanted to try it out. I think that I would use this with my class. I would like to try the activity we did and I think they would really enjoy it.

The tour of the YETC was an eye opener to all of the resources there are for teachers and for USU students. There are so many websites that teachers can have access to for the classrooms. I loved google earth too. I saw the front of my parents house! It was exciting. I think that all of the media they have at the YETC is amazing. I hope to go in and learn more about it and actually use it. It was very informational and intruiging.
