I am very excited about my multimedia project. When I saw we had to do a webquest, I knew I wanted to refresh the webquest I did with my seventh graders. Even though I am teaching physical science now, biology will always be my first love in science. While I am the high strung Yang, the teacher I get to work with is the Yin to my Yang. She is so calm and helps keep me balanced. One of my greatest joys in my teaching career is teaching and planning with her!
I have developed the webquest with in her pbworks wiki (http://lloydch.pbworks.com) for all of her students. In previous years we have had the students do research and complete tasks in order to build a magazine, instead this year we are having them create websites for the biomes. Getting all the sites named and linked has been tough. I still need to finish up my video, podcast, and some formatting. I am excited to be using so many new tools for the project.
The video has been fun to get ready. My students were such an amazing help. When I asked my students for help, they jumped at the chance! I had several offer to come in early and stay late on a FRIDAY! I am so lucky to have such sport from my students.
The piece I am struggling most with is the podcast. I know how to do them. I find them easy to create. I just don't really know what to do with them! Any suggestions?
I love your project! I know I have looked at the wiki a lot, but every time I go to it, it is looking better and better!!! I am drawing a blank as to what to do with your podcasts. Are the students making a podcast or what you should do your podcast on?
