Chapter 6

The first thing that caught my attention after reading chapter six was about bookmarking and cloud computing for teachers. Bookmarking is a fast and easy way that we can use to book a website that we may visit often, so instead of googling it or having to type it in the URL it takes less time if you bookmark it. I personally am still new to bookmarking. In my previous classes I have never really used bookmarking so sometimes when I am on the web finding resources I still have to look on how to find on to bookmark a website. Another thing is Cloud computing I have cloud in my computer and don't really use it often which I believe I should because it is a helpful resources. For instance if maybe I forgot my USB where my information was at I can always have plan b and that is cloud computing and I can simply login in to my cloud and my resources will be there. Here in this website at Cloud Initiation that I found it talks about cloud computing and the different resources a teacher can use for bookmarking.

Another thing that caught my attention in this chapter was about WebQuests. I have never heard about WebQuest before till now for one of my assignments. WebQuest is a useful tool when planning a new assignment and assigning students to that task. It guides you step by step threw out the way. It is a great way to have students motivated on learning a new task. The assignment is not in paper but on the web. First it tells you about the introduction to the assignments, the task, the process, evaluation and the conclusion. It was a nice experiment for me in creating a WebQuest and was challenging but it will be a great idea to teach our future teachers about this website.

The third thing that I came across was about educational websites as teaching resources. As a teacher we look research different kinds of websites that are appropriate to teach our students. I think it is a great idea that in the book it provides you different resources you can use in the classrooms. I like how it provide different resources to our lesson plans. Sometimes a teacher can get stuck while creating a lesson plan and it is always good to have those helpful resources as a back up plan. I think that teachers don't want to go into the wrong websites when educating a classroom.

In conclusion after reading chapter six it has come to my attention that there are different resources a teacher is able to use. At first I thought a teacher had to just google things and find their own resources. It is a great idea about the useful tools the teachers can use in their educational field. For instance the bookmarking and clouding computer is a great resources to use when a teacher forgets their USB or their notebook. Their is also a unique webquest a teacher can use to assign a unique and fun interacting project to their students and lastly the different educational websites a teacher can use to help them create a lesson plan or when finding creating projects to do with their classroom.
