Top Ten Wiki

1. Does this activity differ from much of the activities you engaged during your K-12 education? How? or How not?
This activity differs greatly. During my K-12 education the most we used technology or multimedia such as this was only for basic searches for class assignments. She has her students put the information together as a collaboration to help them to learn more efficiently. 
2. Is your learning style addressed in this activity? How?
Yes, because i'm a more visual, hands on type of learner. She had the students research each animal and then state their own opinions based on the facts. She also had them to learn to determine what is a fact and what is an opinion and i think that was a very good start for the beginning of the project. 
3. This project was implemented without the use of textbooks. Are you surprised? Are you interested in teaching in a similar way when you become a teacher?
I am not surprised no textbooks were used. I am interested in teaching in a similar way because simply referring just to the textbook as your main source of information doesn't allow the student to form their own opinions and read in between the lines. 
4. What are your concerns and what do you anticipate as being barriers?
The only barrier i could think of having in teaching that way is to be able to have the students know how the technology works without having to devote a large amount of time teaching just the usage of technology. However, i think both could be taught simultaneously and you could tackle two subjects at once.
