Continuing Late: Week Six: Week Five: Part 2

as promised here is week five, part two. During this class, a continuation of using the internet as a teaching tool, we learned a few great things. we learned the process of making a webquest, and the process of making a portaportal. Both were surprisingly easy, intuitive, and disappointingly anticlimactic, considering the hype I'd heard about them in the previous semester. In any case, i teamed up with a classmate as we ventured into a webquest covering the battle of Hastings in 1066. Doing the webquest, i learned a few things besides how to make a webquest and a portaportal: i learned that the Battle of Hastings was fought in 1066 C.E, between the British and Normans, with the Normans ending up as the victors. in any case, we had a lot of fun, and i was able to learn something. I learned that not only could doing a webquest making learning more entertaining, but creating one was a fun time, and was doable inside of an hour, and the portaportal I created makes a neat, if convenient, repository for my miscellaneous links. Portaportal can be used as a good resource for teachers and students alike, where teachers can put websites with a wide variety of informational coverage, allowing the students the experience of sifting through resources, but at the same time allowing the students to stay safe out on the big internet.

Big thanks to all (one or two) readers,
