webquest presentations

It was so interesting to see everyone's webquests! Not only did it give me insight into the dynamic and unique personalities represented in our classroom, but it also provided me with a valuable annotated list of young adult novels. Choosing appropriate literature is a big fear of mine because I don't feel like I have enough experience with young adult literature (I honestly have no idea where my memory of reading all throughout middle and high school has gone...), so this list is very beneficial for me. I've got my summer reading cut out for me!
Also, the "tasks" represented in the webquests were so neat! So many ideas were presented, many of which I NEVER would have though of on my own. I didn't even know that iMovie existed, and I am very excited to explore it and come up with ways to implement it into my classroom. That is the great thing about the nature of our program at FSU: the classes are very student-centered. We learn from the teacher, from each other, and from ourselves. Discussions and student presentations are vital to our future success, as they will be to our future students' success.
