Today we worked with partners to create Webquests in wikis. I worked with another girl who is in ECE with me, Kelly Sauer. We did a science Webquest for second graders about the phases of the moon. This was interesting to make on a wiki, and different than just creating a Webquest like we did last week. I think that this lesson is something that I really would use with students if I end up teaching 2nd grade. I still think that Webquests are impractical for early childhood students because their access to computers is limited, as well as their skills in using computers. I do think that it is interesting and good to learn these things so that I have the option to use them when I do become a teacher. It was good to work together today with someone within my major to create a lesson that is realistic and could be used. I also think that using the wikis today was good because it gave some more practice on using the wikis which we still have to use for some other assignments. I think that practice is always good when learning a new skill so that it is not forgotten as easily.
