What I've learned that will be useful

I plan on being a history teacher, and I can think of lots of things that I’ve learned in the last half semester that I can use in my classroom. I could begin my class by introducing them to the file storage utilities like yahoo files and google docs. As in the current 422 class I could put assignments and links in the class group.

The online applications for designing rubrics are a very useful tool that I will definitely look into using. I’m a fan of PowerPoint, I can use PowerPoint presentations for a multitude of different lesson plans. Also I could make interactive fun activities within PowerPoint (ie: quizzes and review exercises). I would create my lessons to comply with the learning styles of the different multiple intelligences. Webquests are a great teaching device for history teachers. By sending of the students to do the research themselves, webquests open the door to much more information than can be found in one place. I also like how the webquests can be monitored to see exactly who did what.
