Today we learned how to make a survey in google documents. Here is a link to my survey that I created to go along with my webquest.
I also embedded my survey into the conclusion page of my webquest.

Today in class we signed up for a new account on www.Rubistar.org Rubi star offers a hassle free way for creating rubrics for lesson and units. A rubric sets certain standards and point values so that you can assess student products.

Today we learned about a new website where we can create our own polls. Go to http://www.polleverywhere.com/ and sign up for an account.
We also uploaded some of our information that we are going to use for our webquest onto our google site.

Today we leaned how to use a new presentation tool called Prezi. The tool is designed to be used within the education setting by teachers and students. The program is free and you can get your own account if you are current student or educator. Just go to http://www.prezi.com/ and sign up. To give students some information about our upcoming project we pasted information about our web quest into a prezi design. I like this new tool and plan to use it in years to come in my classroom. Click here to see my prezi in progress.
