Everything went well. Students were engaged in talking. I sometimes picked the students who did not talk much. Some students are reluctant or shy to talk but when I called their name they all had something to say. We made some jokes about students who do not like technology.
I showed them both delicious bookmarking and webquests. They seem to like both but I think it will make much more sense to them when they actually use these for their own projects. Some things in delicious are not done very smartly like sending bookmarks to others. You need to type for:username in the tag section, which does not make much sense to type it in the tag.
The first video in the PPT- table PC School was very slow so it did not work when I fist tried. It worked later in the middle of group discussion and I had them stop and watch the clip. I think that was distracting for them.
The webquest activity took less time than I expected. Luckily I was prepared for it and had a slide about asking them to reflect on the activity. They posted their thoughts in a google doc.
I have one new student(international) who seems to be slower than others in using technology. Hope she gets better and become more comfortable in the class.
I am hoping that my next classes goes at least that much smootly:)

One way to combat the slow videos is to download them ahead of time.
As for those who are slower with technology or do not like technology, what will you do to help them?
