WebQuest Connections

Today’s educators are being asked to incorporate critical thinking, cooperative learning, authentic assessment, and technology in teaching. WebQuests were designed to bring the most effective instructional practices together in a student-led, teacher-driven activity. The WebQuest model addresses a wide range of topics, goals, environments and learners; as well as technology applications.

Extra Credit Available

I'd like to build a "Great WebQuests" list with examples of projects that adhere to the model we're studying for elementary, middle and high school levels. The class wiki site already has a page set up for Great WebQuests. If you find an example that you'd like to submit for the site, post a comment with the URL and grade level and I'll review your suggestion. If your recommendation follows the SDSU model and invokes understanding from students, then I'll post it to our class wiki site and give you 5 extra participation points. Limit of 3 recommendations per person please. If you don't have a Blogger login, you'll need to include your name with your post for credit points.

I have found 3 WebQuests that I felt were good. I used the skills that I learned in this class to try to determine these as good WebQuests. These WebQuests are what I think I could see being used at my school level.

I also found three great WebQuests that I could see myself modifying for my own use in class. They are over three of the stories that I teach: Romeo and Juliet, The Odyssey, and Fahrenheit 451. The URL's are:
