Webquest_webquest





 This is your Webquest Challenge. You will create a Webquest to teach Mrs. Hall (and your classmates) a thing or two about something you think is important... Help us learn about something you are passionate about.



 You (or your team) will produce a webquest on the project you have been working on to share your passion. It will have the main sections of Task, Process and Evaluation. Before you begin, let's get to know exactly what a "Webquest is"

Revisit the webquests we have done in our online class. Here are links to them: > http://tsmsmedia.wikispaces.com/website+evaluation > http://tsmsmedia.wikispaces.com/Google+or+Bing > http://tsmsmedia.wikispaces.com/Wiki
 * "Is That Website For Real?" Web Quest (How to determine if a website is credible)
 * "It's Always in the Last Place You Look" Web Quest (Using search engines to find the information you want)
 * "Wiki, wiki, wiki, woo" Web Quest (What is a wiki and how do you use it)

Mrs. Hall is just learning about Webquests and some of them are better than others. Which ones did you learn more from? Some examples were easier to do, some not as easy. Can you identify what made them easier or more interesting than the others?

What does a good webquest look like?
 * The real "Father of Webquests" is Bernie Dodge. Visit his website and read the "Creating Webquests" section http://webquest.org/index-create.php> >

Look at an example from Bernie Dodge.  @http://webquest.sdsu.edu/webquestwebquest-ms.html  Do you see some interesting ideas that you can use?

 Create your own webquest. Your challenge is to create a webquest that will help Mrs. Hall and your classmates explore the topic you are passionate about. Look at the Evaluation section for all the things you must have in your webquest to be successful. || media type="custom" key="9340452" align="center" ||



 Produce a webquest to help us explore the topic you are passionate about. The webquest must contain the basic components of a webquest: Task, Process and Evaluation. You can also add an Introduction and a Conclusion but it is not required for this assignment. The basic components are:
 * A __Task step__: Identify what you want your students to learn about
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">A __Process step__: Places to go and things to do that will help your students learn about your topic. For this project, the Process step must include:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">at least 2 online resources
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">Identify what your learner needs to look for when they get to the online resource
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">Make a link to the site
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">An __Evaluation step__:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">Identify an evaluation that shows your students learned what you wanted them to learn. Make sure your "evaluation" matches your original learning goal. It helps if you let your learner try to make sense of what they learned in their evaluation. A reflection usually helps to do that. It does not have to be a test. Just something to help you know whether your learner "Got it"

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">You will have a checklist to assess your learning. To be successful in this task:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">Complete a webquest using the wiki set up for you on our online class.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">The webquest must have a Task step
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">The webquest must have a Process step that includes at least 2 online resources
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">The webquest must have an evaluation
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">You must have met with Mrs. Hall at least one time during the process of writing your webquest. She will let you know when you have credit for this meeting.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">You must have completed the checklist at the end of your project

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;"> Remember to always respect your learners. This is your chance to share something you are passionate about. You are helping someone else learn something important.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">Have fun with it!
