Conclusion:
Okay, you're almost done!!!! Please remove your
"comfort card" from the computer and write a one sentence explanation of
where you think you are now--novice, intermediate, or advanced. You
will turn these in at the end so your instructor can contact you later
if you need more help!
Next, with your computer buddies, respond to the following
prompts:
-
What skills from today’s lesson can
you see using in your classroom to improve student writing?
-
What type of writing prompt could you
develop for students to use with your Hot Topics page?
-
Write down one skill you would like
to apply after completing this session. Place the paper in an envelope
with your name on the front. These will be collected as you exit
the session.
Congratulations!!! You have successfully created a
Hot Topics page! Now you can use this knowledge to create other web
pages, WebQuests, or your own classroom home page. The resource links
will always be available for you to refer to as you delve deeper into the
world of web design!!!
Have fun and keep designing!!!
