The past blog you saw was what we educational people call a web-quest. Basically that is an electronic way of teaching/homework combined. It's pretty cool. At first it was difficult to do. I had no idea if I was going to go to a web-quest site or do it on here. Finally, I came to the conclusion that it would be best to put it on here just so I can have everything in one place. So i began the project and it was actually kind of fun to make it. I really enjoyed finding videos and activities to do for the web-quest. Afterwards, I looked back at it and there was probably more I could add, but what I had was acceptable to me. I will probably use this in my classrooms in the future when I expand on it, so this is a great starting point. It was fun to do and it did take some time, but it was all worth it. I have to admit, I did not really understand web-quests until this project. Yes, I have been through the education program but it was never really explained. I thought that our professor not really explaining what we were to do would be horrifying but it's actually allowed me to learn more because I was able to explore it myself. I'm the type of person where if there is an assignment, I want to know the ins and outs. But this project has only confirmed that students can learn without you teaching them specifically. Students can learn when you allow them to explore for themselves. I will definitely use this in my classrooms and allow students to explore the English language for themselves.
