3/12 "Take Away" Message

At the closing of this class, I have a much better understanding of a WebQuest and how it can be used in the classroom.  I have learned that this is an inquiry based learning tool, that engages the students and includes technology in the lesson.  It is important to first introduce the topic, state the task that the students will be working on, along with the process they will be going through.  Lastly you have to create a rubric for evaluation and a conclusion.  I think it is great that the WebQuest includes websites for the students to view and access for additional information.  After watching the videos, I have learned that they can be used positively and negatively in the classroom.  Proper use involves the students and motivates them.  The second grade students were very involved in the WebQuest, while the older students were just answering questions.  I think that creating this WebQuest will be exciting.  I hope that in the future I can create great WebQuests that engage my students effectively.
