They also gave me some feedback...apparently the music was "a little too intense", haha.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353222963410037515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198763446258414928.post-83341645526417475172012-04-01T12:29:20.207-07:002012-04-01T12:29:20.207-07:00Holly-

I like to pick and choose from pre-made rubrics to make rubrics that work for my classroom!<br /><br />Thanks for the resource!<br /><br />DanielleDNadlonekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831480297560992970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198763446258414928.post-42351099058889553212012-04-01T12:27:29.689-07:002012-04-01T12:27:29.689-07:00Holly,

I also like Webquest and think the resource is easy to use and also I enjoyed viewing webquests that were already created by other educators. I found one on cloning that was really well done. Again, it can save us time in our busy profession! Thank you for the awesome voice thread- it is really well done!<br /><br />AngieAngela Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590372923099174955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198763446258414928.post-88581488917975876002012-04-01T09:07:35.164-07:002012-04-01T09:07:35.164-07:00I like you idea for creating webquests.

The ones that are provided will definitely save time, but that you create your own makes them specifically geared for what you need your students to learn. One collaborative tool that I find to be a great way for students to discuss is the use of Edmodo. It is similar to Facebook. Have you considered using something like this in order for students to discuss what they have learned during the webquest?<br /><br />The use of VoiceThread would also be a great way for a small group of your students to explain what they have learned during the webquest. They could gather images and add voice recordings to respond to your questions.Corelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795620655718919147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198763446258414928.post-46044059799549221882012-03-31T17:45:43.108-07:002012-03-31T17:45:43.108-07:00Holly,

Have you presented this in your classroom yet? Or have you posed this type of dilemma in a PowerPoint for them?<br />To answer your question, I think Voicethread and Concept Mapping are both creative tools for my students. I could see concept mapping as a one period lesson plan with creative results for most any student. I like Voicethread because it seems like an improved PowerPoint or Keynote. Adding your voice gives this program a fun new aspect of peer collaboration.<br />Thank you for mentioning a rubric resource. It is nice to have a website other than Rubistar to access and work in.Mrs. Ruetenikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556288549044899408noreply@blogger.com
