Dawn Glidden - True Stories Told Live

I really enjoyed how Dawn used technology and encouraged her students to do so as well. A great link used in the introduction (I Remember When...) is a great way to get the students thinking about topics. I also really enjoyed the idea of having "winners" and the prize being having your Pod Cast published on the school site. What a great incentive to work hard and create something that they can be proud of. 
 Also, allowing students to vote on each others  work is a great way to have group work and create a sort of "competition" in the classroom. A great tool for the age group!

Overall I really enjoyed the presentation and idea behind the WebQuest. The WebQuest did seem a little difficult to navigate, but not impossible. I would have also liked to see more of the links and pages of the WebQuest in the presentation.
