Class 22 - 11/2/06 (Thursday)

Majority of you have found good ideas for your WebQuest. You've
done a good job to choose the topic. Now let's put your ideas into
a usable format.

How do you ensure that students will be engaged in your WebQuest
activity? View the WebQuest Taxonomy of Tasks to determine in
what category your original WebQuest will fall.

Now that you have an idea for your WebQuest, how will you design
the entire process section for your learners? What are the major
components of a WebQuest and what is the role of each in the learning
activity? Get started writing your own WebQuest by using WebQuest
Design Process as a guide. You can also use the WebQuest Design
Patterns page as a reference.

Now that you have an idea for content flow how do you put it all
together into a web-based learning activity?
1. Go to Google Page Creator
2. Create Subpages for your WebQuest, which includes introduction
page, task page, process page, evaluation page, conclusion page,
teacher page, and credits page.
3. Use the WebQuest Design Process and the WebQuest Design
Pattern as your references to complete each component for your
WebQuest.
4. You can also use the student samples from previous semester
to get you ideas on your WebQuest

For next Tuesday's class:
1. Spend some time working on your WebQuest, making sure to
check the project description and rubric to ensure you are
including all required elements. Have at least 1/3 of your WebQuest
completed by Tuesday's class.
2. Learn more about the Instructional Technology Certificate.
