Introduction of WebQuests

Objectives:

  • Clarify that there are many types of technologies
  • Provide quality examples of technology integration lesson plans
  • Evaluate technology integration lesson plans to see how they could be replicated in other Adult Ed classrooms

Activity

  1. Once they become more familiar with the concept of a WebQuest, they will see a brief demonstration of the Filamentality tool.

    2. http://www.filamentality.com/wired/fil/

  2. Using the Filamentality Search Engine, they will search for content related WebQuests and share the quests they find with the group.

Transitioning Statement

As powerful as a WebQuest may seem, without an Investigative Practice approach to the classroom, it is impossible to measure the impact of such an activity on the learners.

Web Quest are becoming increasingly popular with educators and learners. Not only are they interesting, but they provide a unique opportunity for project based assessment. Learners are encouraged to work in groups and become an "expert" in a field. While it is often difficult and time consuming to design a web quest, they are many quests already packaged on the Filamentality site, use this link to Search for Filamentality web quests.
