This WebQuest was created in an effort to challenge my 7th grade
students by having them learn how to use the internet to conduct
research. I threw in a curve ball by having students learn how to
present their findings by way of PowerPoint slides and Streaming
Video clips.
Creating this WebQuest and executing it the way I intended for it to
be executed was at times challenging. This was truly a project filled
with trial and error. Due to various reasons, at times, I had to search
for additional links. The more advanced students assisted me in searching
the internet and finding appropriate links which were then added to the site.
With this being my first ever WebQuest, I wasn’t quite sure how students
would respond to research using the internet as opposed to the old fashion
way of utilizing the library and its resources. I must say, students took
this method of research much more seriously.
Thank you.
