Reflections:

The most I learned from completing this assignment is using slideshare and powerpoint together. This is so neat. Middle school students can actually use this tool for presentations, aside from webquests and weblog. I really like it, an online assignment!
If I were to use this software again, I would use it to tie student online presentations with it.
The ED Tech Topic I did the assigment taught me how to use different technologies for instructions and assessment. It is something that we learn in the class and I just tied it with my topic. It is about science and ways of approaching instruction with technology in the curriculum. Most things we are learning in class:).

ed480 crossword assignment

Flat Stanley Crossword:

Reflections:

1. I really liked the idea of using excel to create the crossword. I usually just go online and search for puzzle makers. It is easy and convenient to use, but what I liked about this activity is that you can teach the students to do this on their own. I think it will be helpful for those students who do not have access to the internet. The microsoft website really helped me a alot.

2. I think it is important to keep parents informed about what is going on in the classroom, so that they can help their children with their assignments. It also helps parents be aware of the lessons that is being taught or will be taught. Communication is important between parents and teachers in order for the child to be successful.

3. I think it will really help the child learn the excel program and language. I think it will also make them realize that people have different ways in creating their crossword puzzles. I did my questions in a fill in the blank format. Others may be different and just follow the regular crossword formats you see on newspapers.

4. For one thing, I should keep inmind to verify my work before submitting it to my weblog. I didnt realize the answers were right next to the questions. And because I made that error, I should also keep in mind to remind my students to do the same.
