Project #5:  Web Quest Project (Group Project)

For this project, I worked on my own to create a Web Quest for Third Graders.  Third Grade is the age I would like to teach eventually, so it appealed to me more than anything else.  I spent a long time just coming up for a topic for the WebQuest - I wanted to do something that would give students life skills, not just those they would use throughout the unit or school year.  I decided on the topic of Family because too many people don't know much about their family history, the importance of their family traditions, etc.  Especially in younger elementary school, these children probably won't know or understand many of these things.  While researching their own family and then presenting the information to the class, students will find out more about themselves and their peers.  Using Nvu and WS_FTP, I was able to complete this webquest including numerous tables and vertical navigation.  Webquests are a great idea to incorporate technology into a classroom and can make learning more interesting, especially for younger children.
