On your blog (this can be completed as a post) you need to create a WebQuest section outlining what a WebQuest is, how you would have students use the webquest you created, provide 2-3 web sites where students would surf to learn more about webquests and/or look at examples of webquests, provide appropriate design. You can use the Bernie Dodge site for webquests or Tom March.
A WebQuest is a learning activity used by educators. During this activity learners read, analyze, and synthesize information using the World Wide Web. Webquests were invented by Bernie Dodge and Tom March at San Diego State University in 1995.
According to Dodge's original publication a WebQuest is "an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet, optionally supplemented with videoconferencing" (Dodge, 1995a; Dodge, 1995b).
The WebQuest that Marcie, Alece, Andrea, and I created deals with different Christmas symbols. Students can use this WebQuest to independently explore the meaning behind various popular Christmas symbols. They will choose a particular symbol to research, gather information, make a craft that goes along with their symbol, and then present their findings to the class. WebQuest is great to use to complete this activity since it provides all of the information and links in one program.
