WebQuest


With my Web quest, I created a five page website that describes everything a student needs to know to do a project. It talks about the tasks and the process, then it goes to different resources that the students can use to do their project. It then goes to an evaluation page, it is a simple evaluation that can easily grade the students project. Then to the conclusion page, which helps the student answer a few questions to reflect on what they have learned through the project. The last page shows how the INTACS standards apply to the project. By doing this hands on project the students will have a better understanding of what they are doing because they are doing it all themselves. I think it also makes them like it more because they are more in charge of the project rather than the teacher.

Kidspiration

The Kidspiration that I have created will encourage children to use information about what they know to place the animals in the correct layers of which they live. It will also help with finding new information because if the children don’t know in which layer all the animals live they will need to go to the website that was provided and find the animals. This will help the children have a better understanding of where animals live and because it is hands on the children will enjoy the project as well as learning more from doing it themselves.
