WHAT IS WEBQUEST?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6e46g_QcnY&feature=related
Pay attention to the website, answer these questions?What is WebQuset?What are the main parts of the WebQuest?
![Page 5: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
WEBQUESTS What is a webquest?
“An inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the Internet.”
Bernie Dodge, San Diego University
Example – Kites (Grade 6)
![Page 6: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
DIFFERENT TYPES OF WEBQUEST TEMPLATES Online webquest Power point webquest Word webquest

DEFINING WEBQUESTSElements of Webquest NOT a WebquestWeb-based Online Reports
Open-Ended Questions Questions with a predefined answer
Higher-Level Thinking Designed for teaching factual “recall” information
Student Centered /Teacher Facilitated
Teacher Directed
![Page 8: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ADVANTAGES FOR USING WEQUESTS Engages and motivates students Online enquiry process supports student
centered learning Research is organised Caters for multiple learning levels A great alternative to the standard “research
paper” project Ensures that students are using reliable
websites to find their information Promotes life-long learning for 21st century
learners.
![Page 9: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
TWO TYPES OF WEB QUESTS
Short term – Designed to be completed in one to three class periods.
Longer term – Designed to take between one week and one month.
![Page 10: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
CONSIDERATIONS Picking a Starting Point – topic.
Don’t reinvent the wheel – there are 100’s of existing webquests, adapt one to your needs.
Link to the National Curriculum – standards and enquiry skills.
Utilise photos, videos and the web as resources to support your quest.
Plan with enquiry in mind – it should provide students with opportunity to demonstrate deeper thinking skills not just lower level recall.
![Page 11: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
KEY ELEMENTS OF A WEBQUEST Introduction –
A concise paragraph or two that supplies students with background information and motivation for completing the project. Can include a question that ‘hooks’ students in.
Task - Provides a clear outline of what students need to do and the final product.
Process - Step by step strategies, supporting resources websites, videos, word
document etc
Conclusion - What should they have learned from the project? Evaluation - Rubric - grading criteria (see handout example)

WHY EVALUATE SOURCES?Just because it’s written doesn’t mean it’s good…
![Page 22: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
EVALUATION CRITERIA
You can use a system called the CRAAP Test to
help you evaluate websites. Now that’s
my kind of test!
![Page 23: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CRAAP TEST•C = CURRENCY•R = RELEVANCE•A = AUTHOR•A = ACCURACY•P = PURPOSE
![Page 24: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
C = CURRENCY Currency: The timeliness of the web
page.When was the information gathered?
When was it posted?When was it last revised?
![Page 25: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
C = CURRENCY Currency: The timeliness of the web
page.
Are links functional and up-to-date?
Is there evidence of newly added information, “updates” or links?
![Page 26: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
C = CURRENCY How important is Currency?
In fields such as medicine, science, business, technology, and most social sciences, currency of information is important. (no older than 3 years!)
Sometimes Currency is not all that important. In fields such as history and literature, older materials may be just as valuable as newer ones.
![Page 27: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
R = RELEVANCERelevance = How effectively the website
communicates the information to its intended audience.
Who is the intended audience? Would this site be of greatest interest to the general user, the enthusiast, or the professional?
![Page 28: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
R = RELEVANCE What does the website assume about the audience in
terms of their knowledge of and familiarity with the topic?
Does the website take for granted that the audience will believe or buy into the information without any doubt?
Is enough information presented for the audience to understand the topic?
Is the information unique?
![Page 29: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
R = RELEVANCE Is the information available elsewhere
such as an online news source? Could the same information be found in a
simpler source, such as an encyclopedia or dictionary?
I wasted all that time on that website when the info was right here!
![Page 30: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

A = ACCURACYAccuracy: The reliability, truthfulness,
and correctness of the informational content.
Where does the information come from? Did the author conduct an experiment? Is the author reporting his/her observations? Does the site rely on expert testimony?

A = ACCURACY Are there spelling, grammar, or other
typographical errors? Can you verify any of the information in
independent sources or from your own knowledge?
Can you find any cases where the author has plagiarized other sources? In other words, has the author used other authors' words or
ideas without properly citing them, so as to pass them off as original ideas?
![Page 42: webquest And craap Workshop 12 22/5/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816858550346895dde839b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
