Becoming Familiar with the Alphabet:

http://ia.usu.edu/viewproject.php?project=ia:9140

creating instructional media with geometry concepts.

this activity was very exciting for me.  i have used a digital camera a lot but i have never used comic life before! after we used photoshop and made it more creative it made the activity a lot more fun!  i will definitely be using this in my classroom.  kids love using digital programs and having them take pictures and making something out of it will be so fun for them!  i loved this activity and i plan on using it often.. in a 2nd and third grade classroom the kids would love to go out and take pictures of bugs and make a page out of it.  after you have them make a page and explain what they did and what the bugs are, they will learn a lot from it! im excited to incorporate this into my classroom someday!

this software for younger children is really helpful i think.  it shows them the letter, makes the sound that, that letter makes and then puts it into words that that letter is in. the program is very easy to follow and is very helpful when moving on to the next step. i think this is perfect for kindergartners.  they would stay in tune with the program and understand what to do.  it makes it good for them to hear the sounds and what the letter looks like in an actual word as well.  they also had on this website places you could go for other games and activities for younger children.  i think it is great for learning all about the alphabet and will help those younger kids succeed.  

webquest : learning objectives.

target: kindergarten

learning objectives.

1. students will be able to recognize the letters with the sounds.

webquest: students will need to be able to understand that letters make up words and the words make up vocabulary and that is what makes up our language.  for this webquest they will use games and videos to help gain a better understanding of the alphabet.  after the webquest the children for the project will be able to make up a nonsense word, be able to recognize the letters and sounds, and how to blend them together.
