UEN/Scratch

So this week has proven to be pretty fun and adventurous for sure. We have finished our UEN page and it was very benificial to see what different things we can include on our webstites and how accessable we can make our lesson plans, daily activities and any other activities we choose to do accessible to our students or their parents. In one of my other education classes we have the option of creating a website that we can use in our classrooms and the skills that we have been introcuced to by building our very own UEN page has been very valuable in deed. I can now apply the techniques and delve farther into the meat of what UEN has to offer. On another note we have the chance to get involved with Scratch. I am a little scared to tell the Truth and I do not know what I am going to do, or even how to do it for that matter. I know that the principles behind these skills that we well learn can be applied to the classroom in many ways. For one the activities that we create can help the students experience the material and learning objectives in a new light and really accomplish the tasks that these games have to offer. By completing tasks they can accomplish the learning objectives and by using these techniques learning can be made fun for children who have grown up in the information age.
