Project 5: WebQuest Project (Group Project)

This project was a group effort that went along with Dr. Lin Lin's social studies class. With social studies concepts in mind, Katie, Melissa, Alicia and I all chose to create a webquest on Harriet Tubman and her contributions to the underground railroad. In order to make the webquest, we had to be familiar with making tables with different features, considering the webquest is outlined using tables. The webquest helps students better investigate the life of Harriet Tubman as they are guided towards internet sources to aid them in their task. We were able to work together by starting the outline of the webquest on Katie's computer that we downloaded to the rest of the group members' computers using our scan disks. We were glad we did this early on because it gets complicated when we have to correct all of the links so that they are working according to our pages. I am so excited about this project because I have heard of teachers using this resource in their classrooms. I have also seen a lot of examples on the internet. I plan to use this in my classroom so that I will know what the students are looking up, which better simplify searches and direct my questioning in a specific direction. I would also not only use this in social studies, but also in subjects such as science, math and reading.
