Blog Project-
Description: noun- blog (a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies) "postings on a blog are usually in chronological order"
verb- (read, write, or edit a shared on-line journal)
Purpose: We are going to create a blog using blogspot.com because it is free and works nicely with gmail accounts which all students should have through Santa Rosa Academy. The blog is a tool people use to write and share ideas with others and has become sort of a big deal in the online community. I want to use this blog for students to ask each other questions and for help with assignments in this class and other classes as well. Students will be expected to follow my blog and post on theirs twice a week.

What is a WebQuest October 1, 2010
What is a WebQuest?
A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. The model was developed by Bernie Dodge at San Diego State University in February, 1995 with early input from SDSU/Pacific Bell Fellow Tom March, the Educational Technology staff at San Diego Unified School District, and waves of participants each summer at the Teach the Teachers Consortium.Since those beginning days, tens of thousands of teachers have embraced WebQuests as a way to make good use of the internet while engaging their students in the kinds of thinking that the 21st century requires. The model has spread around the world, with special enthusiasm in Brazil, Spain, China, Australia and Holland.
