WebQuests


Webquest.org is a website with online lessons that have information or sources for the students to work with instead of spending all their time looking for it. WebQuests start out with an introduction that relates to the students interests. A teacher's goal is to make it fun and interesting for the student so they want to move on to tasks. This area will should what the students has to accomplish to get to the end of the quest. As the students work on the quest they can click process which shows them a step-by-step description of what should be done to successfully complete the project. If the student gets stuck or needs some more information they can click on the resource page with shows all the links to relevant websites they can find that information on.  Now any quest need a rubric to evaluate the students work, and that is where the evaluation tap comes in. It shows a clear guideline of what is considered excellent work and what is minimum accepted. The last thing show up in the quest window is conclusion which shows what the student has learned. From my playing around in this website, I have learned that it be fun for students and easy to use. If might be something to look into for students to use in class.
