Essential Questions - Webquests

  Low Medium High

Engaging Opening / Writing

No attempt made to appeal to learners.

Honestly attempts to appeal to student interests.

Has that something that compels attention.

The Question / Task

No real Question and / or a fuzzy Task. Maybe what's asked for is lower level thinking or info retrieval.

There is at least an implicit Question and a Task that targets higher order thinking. All this may not be totally clear.

Clear Question and Task. These naturally flow from the introduction and signal a direction for sophisticated learning.

Background for Everyone

No attempt to access prior learning or build common background.

Some mention of addressing a common body of knowledge. (May not happen within the activity.)

Clearly calls attention to the need for a common foundation of knowledge and provides needed (Web?) resources.

Roles / ExpertiseNo Roles / use of perspectives or Roles are artificial and may lack inherent conflict of interest.

Roles are clear and realistic. They may be limited in scope, but do evoke conflict.

Roles match the issues and resources. The roles provide multiple perspectives from which to view the topic.

Use of the Web This activity could probably be done without the Web.

Some resources reflect features of the Web that make it particularly useful such as images, audio, interactivity, current information, etc.

Uses the Web to access at least some of the following: interactivity, multiple perspectives, multimedia, current information, etc.

Transformative Thinking

No Transformative thinking. (This is not a WebQuest, but may be a good Knowledge Hunt).

Higher level thinking is required, but the process for students may not be clear.

Higher level thinking is required to construct new meaning. Scaffolding is provided to support student achievement.

Real World Feedback No feedback loop included.

The learning product could easily be used for authentic assessment although this may not be addressed or it only happens in the classroom.

A feedback loop connecting learners to the Real world is included in the Web page and an evaluation rubric is probably provided (early on!).

ConclusionMinimal conclusion. No mention of student thinking or symmetry to intro.

Returns to the intro ideas. May sum up the experiences and learning that was undertaken.

Clear tie-in to the intro. Makes the students' cognitive tasks overt and suggests how this learning could transfer to other domains/issues. Probably calls attention to the assumptions / hidden agendas inherent in the WebQuest itself. Sophistication keeps increasing.

Assessment - Rubric

Possible Digital Stories for todayAnything you want......But if you are stuck.....• Cyber Safety• Cyber bullying• Solving a maths problem explain how to

complete an equation• Key points of a book/ analysis• Qualities of all of the class members• Road safety

MSN & NetAlertParents and teens poles apart regarding online safety

• 50 % of parents believe they always know what sites their children visit • 56 % of parents thought they had enough information about online

safety • More than half of parents claimed that they had better Internet

knowledge than their children • 24 % of teens claim that their parents are never around when they are

online. 6% of parents claimed that they were never around when their children were online The older the children, the less likely it is that their parents will join them online

• 71 % of parents believe their children use the Internet for research, while only 23 % of teens say they research online

Cyberbullying –

The bully you can’t see & who can’t see you

A 2004 survey of 13,000 girls aged 12 to 15 by the NCAB and Girlfriend found 42% of those surveyed reported being intimidated or denigrated online or by text messaging.
