Week 8 WebQuest Project - Phase II: Wrap up, Presentation, and Reflection

Since this project is a collaborative project with other courses (Science and Social Science), so the following tasks for this week might be moved to a later date to coordinate with the pace and due dates of those other courses. For the time being, you can continue to work on your WebQuest Project.

To do this week

1. Wrap up the WebQuest Project

• Complete the final touchups on your WebQuest website;
• Troubleshoot technical glitches (e.g. broken links);
• Make sure each team member in the group uploads the entire project to their own webpages. Since this is a team effort, only when everyone has published the project to their own pages will each person's project be considered "complete." Help your team accomplish each of 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. Plan 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 will you have just 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 were some of the problems?

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

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