2. Locate and describe one example of a webquest. One student created a webquest that talked about how her class read a book called Dear Mr. Blueberry by Simon James. The Book was about how a little girl names Emily wrote letters to Mr. Blueberry about finding a whale in her backyard. Mr. Blueberry wrote back to Emily and explained all about the whales and why she could not have a whale in her backyard. The whale couldn't answer all of her letters from his students about the animals that they think are in their yards or houses. What do you know about animals? Can you be Mr. Blueberry's assistant? website: @http://questgarden.com/40/14/2/061102141753/

3. Why would I want to use a webquest in my teaching? I would want to use a webquest in my classroom to help improve not just my understanding of the subject but also to help my students get a better understanding of a particular subject in the classroom. With the help of the web it helps get improved information for me and the students.

4. Why do I need to create lesson plans? I need to create lesson plans to not just help me stay orgainzed while teaching but also to help my students understand what I'm talking about. Even though my students do not receive a lesson plan if I have everything inside of my lessonplan then it will help me to stay on task with the students while teaching. Also, if I had a special needs student in my classroom my lesson plan would help me to understand the basic ways to teach special needs students.

5. What is EdTPA? What does the acronym stand for? Education Teacher Perfomances Assessment which is an assessment of teacher performance that will be administered by Pearson. Also a standardized assessment of teaching that is being required in many states, including New York State as of May 2014, for teacher certification. The edTPA is being marketed as a way to “professionalize” the field of education, a contention that is deeply insulting to those of us who have dedicated our lives to the art and craft of teaching. The edTPA will be administered during student teaching. It is a high-stakes assessment because certification depends on its successful completion.
