Making a movie.
Today my group and I worked in record our Imovie. It was a great experience for everyone. We had a lot of fun, and we learned a lot. We follow our Story board to build our sceneries and text. It was a lot work as well. We had to build all our prompts before we start record the move. At the end the day we were very happy with the results. It is amazing that we spent three hours to have just the first part of our work done and at the end after the movie gets edit it will be just 2 minutes movie. So far this seems a very nice assignment, but I believe it early to say something more about. We just worked on the storyboard, which did not take us long time. Because we new exactly which topic we want to do it was easy. The storyboard was just a formal part of this project. The record session was much more work and also more insightful. Now let see next week, when we have to edit the movie. I believe that is when we really going to encounter difficulties, but at the same time will be a useful tool to learn.

The Use of Web Quest.
Web Quest is a great cooperative learning tool. With Web Quest a teacher can create a challenge assignment where his or her students will have a positive experience.

The Filamentality assignment was great. I had a lot fun working on it. First all, I loved researching for links relate to my theme. Second, build the Hotlist was also fun and creative. It is easy, but challenging at the same time. When I was creating I had in my mind my students motivation and curiosity. I want to create a site that inspires curiosity and excitement.
The writing portion of this assignment is formal and where I had to spend more time into it. The teacher instruction sheet was more official and containing academic explanation about the lesson. The Student sheet was nice to do, since was the guide instruction connecting to the hotlist. This part of assignment was nice, because I had to instruct, to modeling and to guide my students to the purpose of this assignment. It is really where the student will apply the knowledge they got from the hotlist.
In conclusion I definitely will use this tool in my classroom. I can see myself using it to teach so many subject matters.
Software Review
About the software review was a nice assignment. There was a prescribed part of this assignment where I had to install and navigate through these softwares and check out the academic quality of these materials.
The analysis and the review of the software was a nice thing to do. I believe through this assignment I became more capable to recognize good classroom software. I actually could see how great tool they are. Some of these software cover diverse subject matter that impressed me. I did not have ideal how much academic activities they promote.
