My name is Kerri Huntley and I have been teaching first grade in Region 10 Schools for three years. Please check back for new and exciting news!

March Sing Along Song: ReadReadRead! ====media type="file" key="readreadread.mp3" width="480" height="120" align="center" ==== Click on the Audio player above to hear my first graders sing our brand new song celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday. Parents are not able to hear our Friday Sing Alongs. They can hear their children sing if they visit our class website and listen to podcasts.

After reading through this assignment, I thought the topic is an issue that many schools have. The ares for concern were things teachers can really use and benefit from. These topics are real workshops that have been offered in my school over the years I have worked there. I thought that picking a topic that you were not familiar with was good so you would really learn the most about the area of concern you picked. The target audience in the web quest is very typical, where the non-tenured teachers are most motivated and eager to try fresh ideas. The rubric related to the project and I thought it was important to include both a rubric for group work and individual work.
 * Feedback about Technology Web Quest:**

The suggestion I would have to improve this project is to start this project in the beginning to middle of the semester and having a longer time to complete the activities. I feel that in-class training would be important before making the movies. I think additional training on movie editing software would also be useful since I have not taken any courses in this area of technology. Overall, I feel the project is a project that educational technology students would benefit from.

This program is extremely user friendly and it can zoom in on any neighborhood. I would use this program to teach my students about ways to view maps. This ties in with an upcoming Social Studies unit on maps. I teach my students about topography and Bird's Eye View maps. I can also use this program to teach about rural neighborhoods and urban neighborhoods. This would be a great intrest factor because students are able to view their real town. I would use my Smartboard to view this in my classroom.
