Week #9

This week was Saint Patrick’s Day. Class seemed to drag on forever because everyone just wanted to leave. We talked about Webquests this week. We also learned about using the web for teaching and learning. This was a boring lesson because everyone in the class already uses the web on a daily basis. Overall, today was fairly boring. I was really glad to hear that we do not have a lab due next week. I really like the videos we have been watching in class. They are about how children are so in tune with the internet and use it for a lot more than just educational reasons. I find this to be quite sad, but at the same time, it is the truth. Children are starting to use MySpace and FaceBook at a much younger age and parents are unsure of how to control this behavior. Overall, the lesson today was boring.
