Feb. 26-28

This week in ed 205 we worked on our interactive poowerpoint idea and we also visited Pine Island. I've discovered a few things about doing internet research with kids. Primarily, things need to be very well labled. Our Delicious website is slighly unorganized and it makes it difficult to navigate through the loops to find information. I've also discovered that the teacher needs to explain exactly what the child needs to look for. When the kids are looking at websites, they see everything as being important, when really not everything is. The kids should have a specific goal like: find information about 2 animals from the Tundra. Tell what they eat, where they live, where they are found, etc. The internet is too wide and complicated for them to just look at a webpage and try to pull information from it. I will keep this in mind if i ever create a Delicious page for my class.
