I had a lot of fun making my crossword puzzle. I have always loved doing crossword puzzles so I really liked this project. I use excel a lot so I did not find this to be difficult, although using the puzzle making site made making the puzzle a lot easier because all you had to do was put in the clues and the answers and it made the puzzle and answer key for you. So, if I had to choose, I definitely think that I would make my puzzle with the help of the site Edhelper.com. This site also has a lot of other great puzzles you can make I absolutely love doing the soduko puzzles. I also think that being able to use excel is an important skill, because it can be used to a lot of different things. I use it constantly at work for making tables and graphs and as we saw in this assignment it can be used to create things for the classroom too.
Since I seem to be having issues posting the snapshot to my blog check out my crossword using the URL below

During class we saw that technology is not always perfect. I feel like we spent way too much time during class getting everyone to figure out how to post our presentations so that everyone could see them. I think that if we just devoted like 30 min the first day of class to go over this then we would not have to spend so much time each week trying to figure it out. I still feel like I do not know how to do it. We did not even get to see half of the groups presentations. I liked hearing and seeing the different ideas that people came up with for their lessons. i feel like this is beneficial to everyone, because maybe they can pick up a good idea that they can use in their classroom.
When we met as a group we went over the websites. Danielle who teaches first grade really liked spelling city. She was planning on trying it out in her classroom the following week. The games for the students were great. I think that kids like learning better when you can turn it into a game, I know that I always did.
The We think video further showed that the internet is a big part of education today and a big way that ideas are passed along from one person to another. I think that the internet is a great way to both get and share new ideas and lessons.
