Assignment 5

Developing a WebQuest using Google Pages

Our next assignment was to create a WebQuest activity for a particular grade level. I chose to create a lesson for a ninth grade American History class. The objective of this assignment was to create a successful WebQuest activity incorporating the seven main components of a WebQuest which are introduction, process, task, resources, evaluation, conclusion, and teacher’s notes. Though I hate to admit it, the most difficult part of this lesson was recalling the American Revolution and the materials needed to successfully deliver this particular lesson. I really enjoyed the creative aspects WebQuests allows because you are actually giving the students a task that you want them to be able to complete using Web technologies. I think the creativity and individuality this project allows will create an environment where students can actively participate in the lesson and complete it based on their strengths.
