Virtual tours

A virtual tour is a simulation of an existing location that usually takes place on a personal computer. Virtual tours can be very complex and offer a lot of information. They are created on the web and can consist of multiple pages, most of which can be linked to another one of the pages in some way. Virtual tours can consist of outside websites, videos, or pictures. They are used to teach about specific topics. Also, virtual tours can be used for almost anything such as realty, visiting real places without actually going there, or teaching a lesson about any subject.

I can use virtual tours in my classroom to teach students more about math concepts that they are learning at the time. Also, I can get my students interested in math by showing them what the math that we are learning can be used for in the future. Here is an example of one such virtual tour: Math in the real world.

There are many pros and cons to virtual tours. One pro is that they can be accessed from anywhere. Another pro is that virtual tours can be used for almost anything. They can be used in school for different subjects and lessons, and they can even be used outside of school for things such as real estate. One negative to virtual tours is that they can be difficult to follow and can be very confusing. They also can take a long time to follow before everything on the tour is viewed.

Teacher Web Pages

A teacher web page is a type of web page in which teachers post information that they believe is important for their students, students' relatives, and everyone else in the community. Teacher web pages can include the teacher’s personal information such as telephone number and email address, and a brief paragraph introducing him- or herself. They can also contain any other information that the teacher wishes to display publicly. These things can include a calendar of events, newsletters to parents, student projects, webquests, online lesson plans, and the class goals, rules, and procedures.

When I teach, I will definitely use a teacher web page. I think it is a great way to keep students up to date on what is going on in the class. I will post my phone number and email address so students can contact me at any time. I will use my teacher web page to display my syllabus and to post each day's homework. This way, students will always have a source to look up what their homework is for the night if they were absent from class or if they just simply forgot what it was. I will also post extra help websites on my teacher web page. This way, student who need help and do not understand what they are doing can go to these websites to get extra help with their homework.

I think that a teacher web page is almost entirely beneficial. Students can stay up to date on classroom activities and homework, students can communicate with their teacher via the web page, and parents and other people in the community can check out what is going on in the classroom. Also, teachers can post additional websites that the students can visit in order to look up additional information about what is being studied in the class. The only con there is for having a teacher web page is that students might not come to class because they know that they just have to check the web page for the homework for that night.

Webquest

A webquest is a type of lesson in which all of the information comes from the World Wide Web. It is an inquiry-oriented actity that can be incorporated into a lesson. Although all information comes from the web, this type of lesson is still taught in the classroom. Therefore, a webquest acts simply as a learning tool for students. Webquests can be very short and only last days, or they can be so long that they last months. Many webquests even involve group work among students. The purpose of a webquest is to use the learners' time well and to focus the learners' attention on using information rather that finding it and to support students' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

Teachers use webquests in their classrooms to help their students learn the material that they are teaching. When I become a teacher, I think using webquests will be a great help in my teaching. Webquests may take a long time to prepare but they can very successfully help students learn if they are put together right. When I prepare webquests for my classroom, I will make shorter ones that last only about a week but incorporate many of the things that I am teaching in the classroom. I think that using these webquests will make it easier on the learners. Webquests are very organized so they are even easy to use.

There are many benefits to using webquests in the classroom. For example, this generation is a very technologically advanced generation and using information on the web can be very beneficial to students. By using webquests, students learn more about how to search the web and use the information that they find on the web. Also, because many webquests involve group work among students, webquests help learners to get along better with their peers and teaches them to work well in groups with other people. The biggest con to using a webquest would be the amount of time it takes to complete. Most webquests take a long period of time and it would be difficult to cover all of the necessary material if a webquest is incorporated into the lesson.
