Dodge Article
According to Dodge one of the elements from the Focus Five article that I found useful was “Find Great Sites.” In my experience for the content area Spanish, it is hard to find really useful websites that are free and helpful. Often times the best sites require a fee and the free ones are often not very useful or often have links that no longer work. While at the UCET conference I attended a class for Foreign Language Resources where we received information on many useful sites that we were able to use in our webquest.
Another great resource is the Delicious Bookmark tool where you can keep track of all your bookmarks no matter what computer you work on. Since it is web based the convenience of signing in and clicking on bookmarks allows for the freedom from having to use large blocks of time working on a personal computer. With this service you have the freedom to look up information at any time that you have free, that is great.

There are so many websites out there and it is overwhelming to try to filter through all the bad-mediocre ones to find the real gems. I am glad you mentioned the UCET conference because that was a great resource to finding materials for our webquest. As long as teachers utilize opportunities like UCET and other conferences, they will find the material they are looking for without too many problems. Also, other teachers can be a great resource of guidance to helpful sites and information.
ReplyDeleteThe Delicious Bookmark sounds extremely helpful and I will have to check it out. Thanks for the reminder!
