The website I chose to visit was webquest.org. It had everything any school teacher would want to know about teaching children of all ages. A webquest is where children can learn from the internet and do their lesson from there. It gave advice about how to incorporate technology in the classroom and how it is helpful.

I've learned how to create Microsft Word documents with more than one column. I am happy that I learned this because it makes it a lot more fun to write a newsletter. I know when I was in school and my teacher would give me a stack of papers stapled together calling it a newsletter or announcement packet; my mother would never get it. I would either lose it in my backpack or throw it away before going home. I like the idea of columns because it saves paper and the information looks more organized. I will use this later in my educational career when making newsletters or posters using Microsoft Word to make it easier for students.
