…"Transformations." The goings-on in the minds of learners that
take the raw information and work with it until it's transformed into new knowledge, constructed into new meaning. From that day back in 1995, this has been the definitive focus of the WebQuest strategy.”

Not all WebQuests are created equal…
Let’s compare a series of WebQuests using the WebQuest format. Here we get the chance to compare five different Quests from four different points of view at four different levels
• Let’s go to:• http://webquest.sdsu.edu/webquestwebquest-ms.html
![Page 20: 1 All About WebQuests. 2 Main Menu: All About WebQuests What is a WebQuest? What is a WebQuest? What are the components of a WebQuest? What are the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb2bbf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Our Process
We will divide into groups of four Each member of the group has a specific role Each individual will judge the Quest from his or her assigned point of view
The Four Roles:Efficiency ExpertAffiliatorAltitudinistTechnophile
![Page 21: 1 All About WebQuests. 2 Main Menu: All About WebQuests What is a WebQuest? What is a WebQuest? What are the components of a WebQuest? What are the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb2bbf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
What are the beliefs and tasks of each role?
![Page 22: 1 All About WebQuests. 2 Main Menu: All About WebQuests What is a WebQuest? What is a WebQuest? What are the components of a WebQuest? What are the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb2bbf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
The Efficiency Expert Believes
Time is very valuable Too much time is wasted on unfocused activities WebQuests must give maximum bang for the buck You like short, unambiguous activities that teach small things well If the Quest is long term, it had better deliver a deep understanding of the topic at hand
![Page 23: 1 All About WebQuests. 2 Main Menu: All About WebQuests What is a WebQuest? What is a WebQuest? What are the components of a WebQuest? What are the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb2bbf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
The Affiliator Believes
The best activities are those where students work together
The best WebQuests create a need for discussion and consensus
WebQuests where students work alone are not your cup of tea
![Page 24: 1 All About WebQuests. 2 Main Menu: All About WebQuests What is a WebQuest? What is a WebQuest? What are the components of a WebQuest? What are the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb2bbf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
The Altitudinist Believes
Higher level learning is the most important thing for you
Factual recall is a waste of time The only reason to bring technology into schools
is to provide the opportunity for analysis, synthesis and the ability to take a stand on issues
Creative expression is an important goal for the learner
![Page 25: 1 All About WebQuests. 2 Main Menu: All About WebQuests What is a WebQuest? What is a WebQuest? What are the components of a WebQuest? What are the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb2bbf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
The Technophile Believes
The Internet is way cool. The best WebQuests are the ones that
make best use of the technology. The better the students learn to use
animation, video, audio and graphics the better you like it.
If you can’t use the Web to the fullest, give you a worksheet any day.
![Page 26: 1 All About WebQuests. 2 Main Menu: All About WebQuests What is a WebQuest? What is a WebQuest? What are the components of a WebQuest? What are the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb2bbf/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Our Process
This part of the activity will be limited to 45 minutes
Meet in your group and assign roles (10 minutes)
Examine the sites individually (no more than 10 minutes per website)
![Page 27: 1 All About WebQuests. 2 Main Menu: All About WebQuests What is a WebQuest? What is a WebQuest? What are the components of a WebQuest? What are the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb2bbf/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Now that you know your role…
Examine each WebQuest site listed Using the WebQuest template, jot down notes as
you look at the site Stay in character as you look at the sites on your
own Don’t compare notes until you get back into your
group Do not spend more than 10 minutes on any
website
![Page 28: 1 All About WebQuests. 2 Main Menu: All About WebQuests What is a WebQuest? What is a WebQuest? What are the components of a WebQuest? What are the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb2bbf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
And next…
Reconvene as a group Poll your members to get the two best
and two worst sites Assign one member of the group to
record your thoughts Come to a compromise consensus as to
your team’s nominations for best and worst and why.
Transfer your results to the PowerPoint template.

29
Now for the Debriefing
Using your PowerPoint presentation, share your conclusions with the classHave fun.
Do not go to the next slide unless you are creating your own WebQuest.

How do you create a WebQuest?

31
Now to the Resources
First, you must know where to go to find resources quickly, effectively and efficiently
Next, you must be able to evaluate those resources to choose those that will allow you to accomplish your goals
Let’s see if we can find the Keys to the Kingdom
![Page 32: 1 All About WebQuests. 2 Main Menu: All About WebQuests What is a WebQuest? What is a WebQuest? What are the components of a WebQuest? What are the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb2bbf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Use Technology as a Tool:
Your WebQuest must be in service to specific objectives
• First step: Determine your goals based on your own curricular needs
• Second step: Examine the technology available to you to accomplish your curricular demands
![Page 33: 1 All About WebQuests. 2 Main Menu: All About WebQuests What is a WebQuest? What is a WebQuest? What are the components of a WebQuest? What are the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb2bbf/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Let technology work its magic…
Match appropriate web resources to your goals, wishes and desires
Use the technology in a time effective manner Make technology part of the solution Puts otherwise unavailable resources in the
hands of your teachers Delivers time sensitive information with
immediate impact

How Do We Know Where We Are Going?
All search engines are not created equal Select search engines appropriate for your
needs and only for preliminary preparation Use directories to focus your search
immediately and find the sites you need• Google Directory

Evaluating Online Resources
When you arrive at the site can you tell:• Who provides, updates and sponsors the
site?• Why is the site provided• What sources does the provider use?
Evaluation Tools• Kathy Shrock's Evaluation Forms

37
Can We Trust Our Guide?
Does the provider clearly state their identity? Is the purpose of the site clear? Does advertising overshadow the content? Does bias color the content? Is the title of the site appropriate to the content?
![Page 38: 1 All About WebQuests. 2 Main Menu: All About WebQuests What is a WebQuest? What is a WebQuest? What are the components of a WebQuest? What are the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb2bbf/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Take out the Template and Let’s Get to Work
The first choice is that of a topic The best topics are those that are inadequately
covered in existing resources Tom March suggests “starting where you’re at”, an
