**Award Winning Websites**
1) [|Career Builder] - won second place for Employment. Our school is doing a whole unit on career choices, education, how to get to college, job wages and living expenses. Our guidance counselors come in and give them a little "quiz" to help the kids see what they might be interested in as a career. Using career builder would be a great way for the students to explore if there are jobs available in their choice of career. If there are none available in Connecticut, where would you have to move to find one? They could also explore what the starting pay is for their career. As you click on a job many of them list their wages. It might even be possible to hook up with some companies near the school that are advertised on Career Builder to come in the school and do a presentation for the students.

2) [|Mango Languages] - won second place for Education

**Podcast Activity**
I made a podcast of an automated phone call I would use to inform parents of upcoming events. My principal uses this technology now and I get the phone calls because I am on the phone call list for snow days. I always listen to what she says and I find it a very valuable way to get information out to the parents and families of our students. media type="custom" key="5652915"

WebQuest Activity-Suggestions for Improvement
When I first read through this assignment I was very overwhelmed. One of the first concerns that came to my head is that the people I have class with live and work in many different areas of the state. We all work full time and attend college at night. Many of us have second jobs and families to take care of as well. This project has a lot of required steps and would take a significant amount of time to complete. It would have to be at least semester long project to ensure that people have time to get together and can complete it. Even with a semester, I am not so sure it would be achievable.

Another concern that came to my mind is that we are all at different steps within our Educational Technology degree. I have not taken a class yet that has taught me how to use garageband. I would have a difficult time with the editing piece of this project. I do not know how to put sound to match a video if it is not recorded at the same time. This project seemed more like an end of the degree project.

I do think it would be a great learning experience to see how everything is done to complete these types of tasks.
