This week we had to create a WebQuest as our project #2.  I worked with two other classmates on it.  They are middle school social studies teachers so we focused on that.  It was fun but more work than we thought :)  I was down the shore on vacation with my son's laptop working on it.  While I missed some sun at least I didn't have to stay home - kudos to online learning!
We decided on the topic of Ancient Greece and comparing Athens and Sparta.  I think it is a fun and interesting subject.  We used some videos which are awesome to have to offer.  I believe it turned out good.  I hope they are able to use it in their classes.  I will check with our social studies teacher to see if she can.
This week we also looked at freeware/shareware that can be used for education purposes and sites that have educational grants available.  I found a really good program that is geared more for high school (algebra, geometry) but there are parts of it that I can definitely use.  My fellow classmates also gave me some great sites for both that are posted on my website.
