Chapter 6 focuses on many topics including information management, bookmarking, social booking marking, Web-quests, and virtual fields. These are all forms of storing information-such as links and having access to those links of information when you are not by your computer. What I found most amusing was the survey on page 141, "Reading and Technology in the next ten years" which asked young to late adolescents what they think reading will entail in the next 10 years. One of the choices included "Books will have secret codes and links to websites where people can join virtual worlds." This stuck out to me because I was reminded of how popular the virtual worlds are as seen in the digital nation video; therefore, I would not be surprised if they have that now.
Turning gears to my video, I stressed over the fact that I've never made created a video before. After finally completing a task that I probably would not have learned on my own outside of the classroom, I gained a greater appreciation of this method of introduction. I can actually see myself making a few more videos before I can call myself a pro and actually use them in teaching in the future. I hope that I will feel the same way after I finish completing my first webquest.
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way as you do pertaining to the storyboard videos that we made. It took me a long time to do- but I strongly feel as if the next time I make one it will take a lot less time! I also agree with you and I am hoping and praying that I will feel the same way about the WebQuest!
