EduBlog Insights

I really like the K-12 Webquest Blog. It highlights webquests based around material from Bernie Dodge’s Questgarden. One that caught my eye was The 21^st Century Classroom: Using Wikis: Introduction. Here’s another one on Social Networking that I plan to dig into to see how they are approaching this issue.This blog is associated with the main project, K12 Station. It has a free library featuring over 20,000 web-based resources for K-12 students, teachers and families. Just click on a grade level and topic to view dozens of tutorials, games, movies, simulations, primary source documents, and more. Chris, the web developer and content manager for the site, also has a Site of the Day Blog.

I have just finished a webquest on blogging. I decided to try out Bernie Dodge’s Quest Garden. Thanks Bernie for providing such an incredible resource! I plan to introduce blogging to my elementary students with Blogging: It’s Elementary! I welcome any input about the webquest.

Great news! Our research piece on blogging has been approved. I can’t and won’t be using real student names, teacher names, or the school name. This process has taken awhile but I am so excited to be a part of this. I have learned so much in the last couple of months. So very soon I will be back in a school with a classroom teacher and an instructional technology specialist blogging with the elementary students! My focus now is to move forward with the blogging and the learning!
