Chapter 8 Response

3 Things Learned
1. The section on Assessment of web-based lessons resonated quite well with me.  I believe it is essential for teachers to recognize when a certain site can be useful and when it won't be useful.  I also find it extremely helpful that there are sites that provide a rubric for web-based lessons.

2.  Web Page development procedures is something that I would have never considered before reading this chapter.  If I had ever wanted to create a web page I would have jumped in with no experience and probably fumbled my way through it.  If I ever decide to use a web page developing aspect in my lessons I will try to remember this procedure.

3. I also particularly liked the section on integration strategies which can allow and help with differentiation and motivations for wanting to do well, collaborate, research, and solve problems all through web-based lessons.

2 Connections
1.  I would particularly like to eventually include sharing and posting writings on blogs or some other type of online publication or discussion format.  This would go well with my writing sections in my English classes, and I believe would help to further students' motivations to do well.

2.  Creating a web page is a nice substitution for brochures or portfolios in the classroom, and prepares students for learning how to navigate the web for future uses.  I think I might like to use this in one of my classrooms for writing purposes and communication purposes.

1 Question
How can my assessment of a web-based lesson possibly not follow through in the classroom?  How could it possibly result in the students non-compliance or disinterest?
