Project 5: Web Quest



    For this integrated science and technology project we were split into groups of five.  I worked with Jessica, Heather, Missy and Rita
.   Each group had to choose a biome that interested the whole group and do research on that biome.  My group chose Climate Change and deforestation.  Each person had a separate page to work on.  Mine was the problems page.   In order for all of our pages to look the same, we developed a basic outline of what the page would look like with different links to each section.  We used Nvu to create a table and added to it a vertical navigation scheme.  We then added the page files from one another's flash drives onto our own flash drive and published our Web Quest using WS_FTP.
      
I could use this idea of a Web Quest in my future classroom for a Science or even a Social Studies project.  This project has helped me build on my knowledge of technology and how to incorporate it into the classroom.  I think a project like this would be beneficial for students to have access to so they can explore or even create a Web Quest of their own.  By doing this project not only will the students become more  familiarized with the Nvu software, but they will be able to become more  knowledgeable with a new place/region/or country in the world that they may not have known about prior to this lesson.  They will be able virtually visit an area that they may not be able to travel to in their lifetime.  I really enjoyed working on this project.
