My Dear Webquest!

So, I decided that WebQuests are actually a neat way to give students opportunities to use the internet in a way that will be helpful to them. It's a good way to show them that the internet can be used to find information - it at least gives them a taste of that.

Reflection:

a) What works best on my WebQuest? I really like that we can put videos on there. I think it is a good way to motivate and catch their interest. I think that the links that I put up are fairly easy to navigate.

b) What more would I do if I could? I would like to take the children on a Field Trip to the aquarium so that they could see the animals that they did their research on in person. I think that would be a great learning experience that would add to what they learned by doing the WebQuest.

c) The planning sheet helped me to get an idea of what I wanted to do and how I should organize it. The peer evaluation was really helpful. It was nice to get ideas from someone else in the class and she gave me some good suggestions.

d) What have I learned about the planning process? I learned that as the teacher I am responsible for making sure that my students have authentic experiences. I need to be the one that finds materials that will be helpful and relevant to them. I learned that a little bit of effort and work put in by me can go a long way for my students.
