•Are you finding the information and resources you need?
I have done some searching online to find resources that describe how to develop a WebQuest. I have also taken some time to look at examples that have already been created. This is a website that I have found to answer many of my questions http://webquest.org/index.php. This site has information on creating WebQuests, sharing WebQuests and resources. I will continue to use this site. I am still looking to find videos. I find that I learn well when watching videos because they can describe and show the steps. I will continue to search for this information. If anyone knows of a great place to find helpful videos on web resources please let me know!
•Do you need to modify your action plan?
I feel that my action plan and goals are appropriate for my level of comfort with technology. They are reasonable for me to tackle and implement effectively into my classroom.
•What have you learned so far?
So far, I have learned the most about the WebQuest process. I have not completed a WebQuest yet but I feel that the use of this resource for classroom instruction is endless. There are so many ways to differentiate instruction without going crazy. It is an easy structure that students can navigate with ease after little instruction. I am excited to see how my students respond to a WebQuest.
•What new questions have arisen?
At this point I don’t really have any new questions but if you have any suggestions or questions to help me move along with my GAME Plan please let me know!

I found a few videos on how to create a webquest on YouTube. Just type in "how to make a webquest" in the search box and a few tutorials will come up. One more thing I can look at once school is over (three weeks!).

Ms. Bailey,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are posting things on Webquests. I am not very familiar with them, so it has been a great learning experience for me. The thing that I find great about them is that they are inquiry based, they require students to work cooperatively, and students need to practice their use of technology in order to complete them.
Toby,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. I will check out YouTube. Anther site that you might want to look at for helpful videos that is usually NOT blocked by school firewalls is called www.teachertube.com. This site has great videos that are related to all different educational topics.
Mark,
We will see how the learning process turns out. I am very excited to use this tool in my classroom to foster higher level thinking that is engaging and supportive.

I like that you are looking into Webquests. We did these when I was in undergrad and they were fun to create and do. I definitely think your kids will enjoy them!
