Crossword Puzzle
This artifact falls
under the category of produce and print. I created a crossword puzzle through
the use of puzzlemaker.com. I used vocabulary words for a
Jeopardy Game
My second activity for
Internet Tools included a Jeopardy game that would fall under the category of
Produce and Post. I plan to post this site on my class homepage (edline) when we get to this unit. I found a template to
download and use for a class game. I had some trouble downloading this file. It
took three different templates until I found one that would download
successfully. I found myself very frustrated as I tried to figure out the
program without clear directions. It was not connected correctly so as to go
from the box clicked, to the answer, and then to the question. It took a good
amount of time to figure out the paths and where to input different
information. I plan to use this with my classroom when we do our Tulsa Unit. I
have a text that divides the topics up by letters of the alphabet. I chose to
label the headings by letters rather than titles because I would like the kids
to have to use the books to find their answers rather than turning directly to
the page of the column heading. I teach my kids how to narrow topics and locate
data during this unit. I enjoyed this project and would make another now that I
have the template figured out. I think this will be a very beneficial way to
use technology in my classroom. The kids will love it!
