For this project we were asked to create a Webquest on a topic relating to
Science. Our group chose water
conservation because it coincides with our water unit project for EDU374, our
science class. Water conservation is an
extremely important topic for children and the Webquest allows students to
acquire information in an easy way without searching the web. The first part of this project I learned how
to create a table on NvU. I used vertical
navigation to create all of my pages in the Webquest. The Webquest includes a home page, problem’s
page, cause’s pages, solution’s page, a further reading page, and game
page. Once I was finished creating the
technical part of the webquest, I started to gather information about water
conservation. My group separated the
webquest tasks and I was in charge of creating the game page. I searched for an image to place at the top
of my page. I then searched for online
games that went along with the topic. There
were numerous games on the website and I narrowed down the choices, by listing
the most educational and interactive games.
Some of the games I included were memory games, quizzes, and mazes. After each game that I included I wrote a
brief summary of each game. Once
everyone was done with their pages we came together and published our webquest
using WS_FTP.
