Project # 5
For this project we teamed up to cooperatively
collaborate for the publication of a WebQuest designed for sixth grade students.
I learend a great deal about teamwork during this process, and more
importantly, how enriching a WebQuest can be for elementary students.
Specifically, we chose the topic of the Holocaust because it encompasses many
significant educational concepts. We created a main page that included the
title of our WebQuest, grade level and the authors. Next, we created an
introduction page which served as a preface to the task page. It introduces the
event and poses questions for the students to think about during their
exploration. Then, we made a task page, and process page, which directs
students toward useful website resources to use for their tasks. Finally, we
created a conclusion page that recaps the main focus of the WebQuest and
congratulates the students for a job well done. Also, we concluded the project
with a credits page that gives recognition to all the sources that we utilized
for the project. Overall, this project was extremely enlightening and a great
learning experience. I look forward to creating WebQuests for my students when
I become an elementary teacher to ensure that they have a full inquiry-based
learning experience!
