Unit plan

I am trying to fix my unit plan, but I feel like I am missing so much or that I did too much wrong. My intended age group was preschool, but there aren't any NC standards for that age group. Then, I was confused as to who the webquest was desinged for. I know that preschoolers are more than capable of using the computer, but the reading part would be hard for them. So I figured the teacher would kind of guide them through it. I guess I will have to look over it and see what can be done.

Everyone chose powerpoint...

I think most chose powerpoint as their favorite technology, because they are familiar with it. Powerpoint was the only thing I had some sort of knowledge of out of all the technologies we examined. I didn't want to pick something else as my favorite if I knew little about it. I would have to say that my second favorite was the webinar. I thought that was really cool, but again, I know very little about that technology.

Just an observation

So, I try to go to the blogs that I follow to comment on them, and two of three are pretty much not even being used anymore. Furthermore, I know that several people have discontinued doing anything in the class. I can't imagine coming this far just to stop at the end :( I know that I will be glad when this course is over, simply because keeping up with this blog drains my energy. Nine out of ten times I forget that it even exists. I am glad that I took the 8 week course vs the 16 week course. I don't particularly like the 16 week courses anyway because they seem to drag on for soooooo long. I just hope that I did well enough to pass.

Favorite technology

I picked powerpoint as my favorite technology. I like it, because it allows me to be creative. I love being able to add animations, colors, special font effects, etc. I think it is a great way to grab the audience's attention. I would much rather sit through a powerpoint presentation than a lecture. I think powerpoints make introducing new topics less boring.
My second favorite would probably be the webinars. I think this a great means of communication. I would like to dig a little deeper into this technology in the future.
