Webquest

Webquests are another great teaching tool. Doing a webquest gives the students an opportunity to explore websites and do activities based on a certain topic. I made a webquest on exploring Australia. Throughout the webquest there are different links that allow you to explore Australia and learn about it's culture, wildlife, and layout. The website that allows you to make a webquest gives you a free one month login. To actually subscribe to the website is also very inexpensive. 

Podcast

Podcasts are becoming more and more popular. Podcasts can be used to listen to a lecture or a presentation. You can download them on itunes and listen to them on your iPod. Podcasting is a great teaching tool because if a student is gone and misses a lecture or presentation, they can download it on itunes. This will help them from falling behind in class. You can listen to podcasts whenever and where ever, compared to watching a video where you are stationed at a TV or computer. You can be working out, shopping, biking, etc. and learning all at one time!
