WebQuest - Reflection

The WebQuest assignment is one of the most fascinating projects that I have completed so far in my IT minor. I believe that this is a technology tool that I can use in the future when I become an instructor. At first, it was somewhat difficult to get started because I could not think of an idea. After I thought of an idea, it was easy to brainstorm different points I wanted to include on each page.

So, I started with one large unit plan and began to construct individual lessons that could be included in the WebQuest. I located several websites that would be useful for students to complete their assignments. After including several smaller assignments, I thought about a culminating activity that would help students to bridge each assignment together. The idea is for students to walk away with a sense of they had learned something new and at the same time be proud of their finish product. Thus, students would be able to showcase their hard work using SlideShare.
