Module 7 (Internet Tools) exposed me to a whole new world of very usable resources and materials.
Awareness: I was completely unaware of the many educational tools provided on the internet. My learning
curve was high, and my awareness was greatly expanded as I explored each example of actual products from previous student's
e-portfolios and teacher stories from the KITE project regarding Internet tools.
Exploration: I spent a great deal of time exploring all the websites and internet tools presented
on the tech4U website. As I became more focused on my topic, I was able to filter out, and decide which tools were most appropriate,
interesting, and usable.
Learning: My knowledge of sites that are free and easy to use will make preparation easier and provide
much learning for students. When students are having FUN (and don't know they are learning) they learn the most. The internet
tools used to create Puzzles, Word Searches, and Bingo reinforce FUN LEARNING!The quiz and rubric making tools will
make grading much more objective and more understandable for teachers, students, and parents.
Application: Through the knowledge I gained through the Internet Tools module I was able to create
the fallowing with each being tied to the book BUNNICULA: Lesson plans, Bingo, Word Puzzles, Quiz, and a Rubric.
Reflection: I know that I will continue to utilize the internet tools that I have discovered throughout
the learning process of Module 7.
