Here are the notes from
this past week in class:
This week, we discussed
the Webquests and how to use them in the social studies
classroom. We spent some time viewing webquests to learn about
their advantages and limitations.
To begin this discussion,
students independently read the following short essay found
online:
Some Thoughts About Webquests by Bernie Dodge. Dr. Dodge
works at San Diego State University and was the original creator
of Webquests.
In class, students viewed
the following webquests in pairs,
and chose one to evaluate.
When doing so, students referred
to the following questions:
1. What was the
content of the
webquest?
2. How was the ease
of navigation?
3. How helpful were
all tasks and
activities for
students to learn
new information?
4, How well was the
scaffolding of tasks
and activities?
5. What
resources/links were
provided? What do
you think about
them?
Here are the
links for the Webquests that were viewed in class:
