Good Morning Melissa, Kelly, and Dr. K.,
I'm still doing alot of thinking about the survey we went through in class last week. It was interesting to see how we as a class differed in our thoughts on each topic, and it really got me thinking about what I do. I still disagree with some of what the survey said, but maybe I am not as educated on the topic as I should be.
I got a lot out of the in-class assignment- Search Engines for Kids & Teaching Search Strategies. It never occured to me that I could find resources for HOW to teach using these to kids. I could see my 4th graders going to the Kidsclick site and learning with me.
I'm on a second reading in our text on HOW to search with students. I'd love to learn how to save a website to my computer so it's there the next time I plan to use it!!! I printed out pages from 2 sites because they were great for my curriculum, but I was afraid they wouldn't stay around! I lost one really good site and didn't want to loose more!
See you in class.
Kathy

Hi Kathy!
Wasn't that survey crazy. The things people need to know regarding appropriate use of technology with regards to copyright laws and licenses are amazing. I am still thinking about some of the questions too.
I really enjoyed the reading this week too...for there are lots of get sites I could embed in my instruction. However, I don't know if I want to get to in-depth with my teaching of the Internet because I need to teach the kids how to actually navigate through a specific program and how to do the basics on a computer. But I do love KidsClick.com...and I am in the process of bookmarking that site for each of my students. See you in class.
Hey Kathy
I know that this is an old blog but I hope you read this first. Don't worry about the webquest or what ever it is we will work on it together. I am reading the chapter now :)We will talk in class about it. Did you start the midterm? Of course Melissa is all done. Just joking. talk to you later. My e-mail is Lenihank@mps1.org i would give you my number but who knows what kind of people are reading this ha ha.
