This is a great webquest for first grade science. It is all about penguins, the goal is to learn all about the different kinds of penguins and their habits, locations, and creating a worksheet of all the information! Web quest's are a great way to get students engaged and use technology! I love this activity, and would definitely use it in a classroom! I like how it breaks down the lesson into the different things the teacher wants the students to learn about Penguins. Students construct a Penguin mobile, a penguin food chain, and an experiment to find out how penguins stay warm in the cold temperatures.

Examples of Website Evaluation
This is a good example of a website evaluation site. It is really simple and easy to follow. There are four steps, and you can access more information on each step, by clicking the main word that has a link attached to it. This is user friendly, and easy to understand! http://liblearn.osu.edu/tutor/les1/
This is a step by step process for evaluation a website, it is very user friendly and would be great for kids to use. When you read one step, you have to click next to get you to the next step. At the beginning you can select what grade you are, so the site is adjusted to your level. There are three options: grades 1-2, 3-5, and 6-8. http://www.eduplace.com/kids/usingweb/index.html

website evaluation
Website evaluation:
I would recommend this site. I have heard of the publisher, and would feel confident that it was a good source to use. I liked how the website seemed fun by using bright colors and fun fonts. I feel like this would keep students attention, and they would feel like they were playing a game just for fun, but would be practicing academic subjects at the same time!
I learned that it is important to check out websites thoroughly before using them in the classroom for your students. I now know you should really check all aspects of the site out, because it could have a very negative impact on your students, and you as an educator, if you send them to a site that is inappropriate in any way. I will make sure that I do check out all websites before using them in my classroom.

Using a Wiki
I have never used a Wiki, so this is a new experience for me. So far, I have found everything on the Wiki extremely useful, and well thought out. I like how you can edit a document, and others can go in and edit the same document and it will update it. There are some many possibilities for using this in a classroom, and I could definitely see myself using the techniques I have learned and will continue to learn in the future!
