1. Power point is used in so many ways.  To teach Bloom's Taxonomy in a lesson, one could use power point to present the entire lesson.  The Power point could include the pyramid along with many other pictures.  It could also include videos, text, and website links for the teacher to click on throughout the lesson.
2. Adaptive technologies include joy sicks and voice recognition.  In the classroom, challenges to using adaptive technologies could be learning disabilities, two could be deaf or blind students.
3.While working on the Web Page Design I learned that there are a lot of useful resources for teachers to use when making their own web page.  I also learned that these websites will make it easier for me to create one, because I do not know much about new technologies, and I know as I get older there will be so much more to know!  I liked the assignment, but I think I would have liked a new layout and pictures.  I would love to get more creative.

1) Looking at schools websites, it seems that they are very simple and have all information needed.  I am looking at elementary classrooms, all of the class pages have information for their class. For example, homework for that night, class pictures, and important dates.  On the home page is the address, history about the school, and all administration information.  It also has links to classrooms and much more. http://www.wsfcs.k12.nc.us/ves
2)As a teacher, I will use technology a lot.  As a (hopefully) kindergarten teacher I will use it for my classroom website.  I will also use it for parent information.  I would also use it for classroom presentations and games.  I will not use it with the students that much, because they will just be learning about technology.
3)Working on the Web Resource Evaluation was an interesting assignment.  I think it helped me learn what kinds of websites I will want to use as an educator, as well as how to figure out if it is a reliable website.  I liked how I was able to learn a little bit about creating a website, but I did not like the website itself.  I found it kind of confusing, but I think if I took the time to explore the site, I would understand it better.

• Standard: MAFS.K.CC.1.1 Count to 100 by 1's and 10's
• http://www.topmarks.co.uk/
• Simulations
• I would use this website for fun games to learn how to count

2. The internet can be a useful for students to research topics and create projects.  As a kindergarten teacher I believe that I would use the internet for fun and new games for the kids to learn simple math and reading.  The internet is not useful when it is used too much.  If all the students do are use computers and the internet for research, the teacher will have no impact on them and the students will not have hands on learning.  

3.  In the past, the only time I have used the computer is to research, make projects and write papers.  The internet was used in almost every class in high school.  I would use it when I did not understand homework and to research for papers and projects.  

4.  The web hunt assignment helped me learn how to narrow down my research and get to my answer quicker through google.  

Questions: 1.  Find a website to help your class learn site words.

2.  Find pictures to present in class before learning about the roaring 20's.
