web quests- the good the bad and the boring!!

the webquests that we looked at on the powerpoint presentation, were intresting. the difference in them were so prevelant it was easy to see which ones were better. the webquest on the tiger cubs was very boring...no student would look at it! i was even bored before i read any of the infomation!. this may have been because it wasn't creative it had a whole heap of infomation all bunched together and there was one picture and that was it. it wasn't inviting so the student would lose intrest very quickly!
the second webquest on the murder mystery was really good. it was interactive, lots of visuals, and it gave the students a specific task. what was even better about the webquest was that it could be used for different subjects, biology, buisness, law, forensic sciences! thats what a web quest should be!, inviting, intresting, stimulating and used over a variety of subjects!!

online games for students.

trying to get a game on to my blog... and i thought the music was hard :)

actually its not that hard.

for students how are naturalistic this game is great! zoo games allows students to create their own animals and make an entire zoo. its fun, intercative and intresting...perfect game for kids who love to create things.

Podcast or Radio?

A podcast you can download and play over and over again. listening to it whenever and wherever you want. you can play the same thing over and over where as the radio plays something once and thats it!
you download files, images, radio highlights, news to your computer and then transfer to your IPOD!

SO HOW DO WE CREATE A PODCAST???

when finding out how to podcast, GOOGLE it!

this is a good place to start on making a podcast!!
podcast tutorials explains what a podcast is, and how to create your own!

happy podcasting:)

to blog or to wiki????

the difference between our blog and our wiki!!

we can control our blog and we can decide who and what appears on it. we are able to delete comments and we know who is posting them. however on the wiki the postings are anonymous. we cant tell who is writing and posting on our wiki therefore anyone could be writing anything!.

on the wiki, people can change our work, add to it, or delete what we have written however on our blogs they can only post a comment not change our work.
