The WebQuest was a very useful assignment because it taught me, basically, how to make a lesson plan. In creating an assignment to explain to both teachers and students, I was forced to consider what information the students will need, but also what resources are necessary for the teachers who are following the lesson. I can use WebQuests to think through my assignments, but also to share with others. Teachers sharing lesson plans is always a good idea because it potentially gives students the chance to experience something new in the classroom.
I feel that completing this assignment has allowed me to learn the following standards:
S3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning--My WebQuest is designed on a website, which demonstrates the fact that I have learned how to use a Digital-Age tool.
S1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity--The assignment encourages students to write their own poem, a task that forces students to reflect inwardly and explore their creativity.
S4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility--This lesson promotes responsibility in a Digital Age because students must learn to distinguish reliable and unreliable sources on the internet.
I agree that making the WebQuest made you think about what other resources your students will need in order to do the assignment. I did not think of that part until I was making my WebQuest. I think these would be great in the classroom because students can work on an assignment on their own but still have great guidelines and great sources available to them.

ReplyDeleteI agree as well in you saying that "Teachers sharing lesson plans is always a good idea because it potentially gives students the chance to experience something new in the classroom." Webquests are beneficial for teacher collaboration. The Webquest is a permanent lesson all in one, from the student's and teacher's perspectives.
