#4 - Web Hunt Challenges and What I learned overall

     A CPALMS standard that is very important to the American History subject that I would teach is the standard SS.912.A.2.1, which is review the causes and consequences of the Civil War. For this subject matter I would like to use an educational game, which is Hangman, but takes vocabulary and important terms that has to do with the subject, and makes a hangman game out of it. I would use it with my whole class and separate my students into teams and review terms with my students in that way. http://www.studenthandouts.com/study-games/american-history-games/07-civil-war-reconstruction-study-games.html

     In the past, I've used a numerous and wide array of internet-based resources for my school work. I used basic search functions in google when I would go search for internet resources for my schoolwork. After listening to the podcast, I noticed that I used some techniques the podcast mentioned, such as the design of a website and how user-friendly the website is. If I can't navigate through the website to find the material I need I would quickly find another website. When I use internet resources, the websites appeal and navigation really impact whether I use that source or not.

     I never realized Google had little tools to use for specific searches, nor did I know how much Google Scholar is helpful in finding internet sources. I was surprised when looking up videos and when I had to use google scholar on how easy it was to find my sources I needed for the web hunt assignment.

WEB HUNT CHALLENGES
1. You want to play a game with your students to help them have fun and study for the upcoming test on science. Can you find an educational online game for your students?
2. Your students are writing a research paper on World War I, Can you find an online resource that holds primary sources for your students to use?
