Webquest Explorin'

Today in Inst. Tech. we learned about webquests and how we can use them in the classroom to teach our students about a core learning standard in the curriculum. It can engage them in learning through simple, step-by-step tasks as individuals or in groups. We also had to participate in a webquest so as to know what it would feel like for the student. I participated in the Greek example that was posted. Out of the four jobs that were given--I was the cartographer. My job was to create the map about the countries and places that Odysseus visited throughout his journey.

We will be creating a webquest for an upcoming project. I decided to plan mine out for 3rd grade. I want to create a webquest that guides students to learning about culture and connecting it to themselves. They will understand how is shapes their community and learn how culture is important. I don't know exactly how I'm going to go about it just yet, but I'm still excited to do it. If I ever get the chance, I want actually want to assign it to my class. Culture is important to know about--it guides us to understand others along with their views and habits.
