Week 8 - Week 10: March 13th & 15th to April 3rd

WebQuest Project - Phase II: Wrap up, Presentation, and Reflection

To do this week

1. Wrap up the WebQuest Project

• Make the final touchup of your WebQuest website;
• Trouble-shoot technical glitches (e.g. broken links);
• Make sure each team member in the group upload all webquest files created by the team to his/her own webfolder, that is, make sure each one publish the whole WebQuest Project to his/her own website. Since this is a team project, only when all members in the team successfully publish their projects can the project be considered "completed" inidividually. Please work as a team and help each other complete all the steps.

2. WebQuest Project Presentation

What?

To share with the class your WebQuest Project and the group work experience and reflect on how you will use the project in your future classroom teaching.

Why?

Sharing will facilitate learning. And sharing can also be entertaining ;-) .

How?

1. Each group will have a station set up with your WebQuest title and names of your team members. Have your WebQuest homepage on the screen of two or three computers.

2. Prepare how you are going to present as a group - would each team member take turns and share one or two things with the rest of the class, or you discuss first and then have one representative to talk to the class?

3. Each group will have a 2-minute debriefing to the whole class on the following:

• What is your project about?

• What is the TASK of your WebQuest for the elementary school students ?

• What new technical skills did you pick up?? What are the frustrations?

• How did you work as a group - who did what? Did it go smoothly or were you frustrated? What are some of the problems??

4. As groups, rotate and visit other groups' WebQuests.?

5. Each group give comments to two of the WebQuests (of other groups).
