Big6

This week we worked on seaching the Big6 activity board for a lesson to critique. The first one I found was a project I have actually participated in before with elementary school students called Flat Stanley. This project gave lots of good information and complied with the Big6. There really were no activities which went along with my topic, HPV, so I choose a second one dealing with alternative fuel and shopping for cars. I even found this to be an interesting activity and think it would have been fun to do while I was in high school. Overall this assignment was just another thing to get me searching the web and better at working with computers. Hopefully learning about the Big6 will help me create to a good activity for my topic.

Creating a Page

This week we began the creation of our web page. I have never created my own web page before so it was neat to learn and figure out how to create my own. It was difficult for me to find a picture because a lot of the photos dealing with HPV were not really appropritae. I thought about using one to make it a reality but because I am including middle school students in my age group I decided to hold off. I think by splitting it up and doing the web site piece by piece will help to create a better page.

Evaluating Week

This week we evaluated some of our web pages we will be using for our projects. I picked two of the web sites that I felt had some of my most useful information so I could check to see the value of the web page. Both of the sites I checked seemed to have very reliable sources and authors of the articles. One of my authors was a PhD and the other came from the CDC. Both of my articles seemed to be useful and appropriate for my topic. This assignment was helpful to be able to figure out ways to check and see if web sites are of any worth or not.
