The following is a reflection of what is on the group community page.In my opinion the best two webQuest are ‘A Stitch in Time’ and ‘Our Sun – sational Star’
I believe that they are very well detailed and easy for students to follow while at the same time presenting a challenge that is comprehensive and fun. Students are aware of what is expected of them throughout the tasks.
Directives for team and individual are clearly and logically stated and the rubric gives further guidance to enhance the team performance. The five main aspects of a webquest – introduction, task, process, evaluation and conclusion – are presented. The introduction is captivating and you will want to have an active role in the tasks ahead. Internet resources are presented to help students stay on task and not having to sort through a lot of unnecessary reading, hence saving time. The tasks are achievable and demand much learner involvement and accountability and calls for higher order thinking and technological skills.
Students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of each task.
I agree with my group partner – Erica – that the two worst elementary webquest are “North Carolina zoo break out” and “meet the immigrants” because they both were too long winded for young students and they did not required the effective use of technology.
