In-Class Wednesday, Sept. 15th: URL's for WebQuests

On Wednesday, we will quickly post our URL's on this blog thread (hyperlink your topics!), and then we'll hear two mini lessons.



If you finish your WebQuests earlier, you are welcome to hyperlink your URL before Wednesday's class.



Your homework for Friday, September 19th, will be to read your peers' WebQuests, and compare their professionalism with your own.

Pick your favorite WebQuest (only ONE; it can be your own), and publish the name of its author in a comment to this blog entry, stating in ONE sentence why you found it so extraordinary. The person who wins gets to choose our next reading for the blog summaries!!!
Then, grade YOUR OWN WebQuest with the following grading sheet, which you also received in an email, and either bring your printed-out self-evaluation sheet to class on Friday, and submit it in the first 10 minutes of class, or email it to me before Friday's class starts.



If you are not in class on Wednesday, figure out at home how to hyperlink your WebQuest URL (click on "publish" in the WebQuest editor, and copy the URL; then, go to this blog entry, click on the globe with the paper clip, and hyperlink this URL with "paste" to your topic). Publish by class time on Wednesday. If it isn't published by class time, it won't be graded because your peers and I cannot see it.



I will only grade WebQuests for which the URL's were posted before or in Wednesday's class, and for which I have received your self-evaluation on Friday. No late assignments accepted.

Michaela Bazar- I liked his Web Quest because it talked about Aussie slang which is pretty cool. Also I liked the pictures.

It's very clear all of the info is there students would have an easy time navigating it as well as learn a lot from it.

Brittany Lingle said...

Michaela Bazar-- I thought this one was the best because of the way she used the pictures (very good for the age group) and her tasks seemed interesting.

I liked Katrina Kosma's. Her assignments were in-depth, but still appropriate for the grade level. It was also well put together, visually and structurally.

Brian Pullyblank- I liked his because it was visually pleasing, creative, and seemed well thought out.

Stephanie Jacques said...

Charlotte Jackanicz-It seemed like it would be use in a real classroom. It wasn't too wordy which left room for teaching and the students didn't have to just sit and try to read the whole screen.

There were several that I liked, but this one popped out at me because the pictures and the simplicity of the task seemed very appropriate for the age group.

Creighton Jackson said...
