Week #9 reflection

This week I learned that it is not as difficult as I thought to incorporate lots of technology into my lessons. In the future I will search the web for more interactive whiteboard presentations that are already complete. I realized that as teachers we sometimes spend too much time trying to re-create something that has already been done well. I also learned more about webquests and am excited about the potentials that these bring in allowing students to work at their own pace, as well as allowing for differientation in instruction. Webquests not only allows students to utilize technology and learn at their own pace, but it also allows the teacher time to interact one on one with students to provide additional support to students who need this while others are busy working on an assignment that is engaging to them.
