Webquest

I enjoyed looking at the "where is My Hero?" I liked the concept of the website in which it was inferring to a hero and who you could see as a hero. I'm not saying anything bad or trying to start a political conflict, i just don't think putting Barack Obama on the front of the introduction was a very good idea. I'm cognizant many believe he is a hero but that could be portrayed as a political message to persuade someone to believe in him rather than a child's actual super hero. I guess really the only thing i liked was the young kid ideal of how a hero comes along and saves us but alot of it seemed highly political and could be taken either way.
I loved "W All Scream for Ice ream." The animation was great, i felt it could keep students interested because the topic was what many kids can relate to enjoy eating. I also liked how the whole project encourages teamwork considering it deals with ice cream. I could definitely want to do this project with the kids!
