Reflection Entry 1

Today I read an article on Webquests. For one of my technology classes during my undergrad I had to design a webquest. I choose to do one on Rosa Parks and the Civil Rights movement. It was a daunting task to create and find sites, make rubrics, and make sure that it was on the reading level of my students. However, when I executed the webquest on my students, it was great watching them take responsibility for their own learning. I think that it is a great experience for students to have even though it takes a lot of time on the part of the teacher.

  1. I have created several webquests. Yes they take a great deal of work, but you can use them again in the future as long as you check your links and make sure they are still active.

  2. Webquests are a fantastic tool - I've created one, but the process is still a bit foggy. I'd love to have a refresher in that.
