Project 5
For this project Jen, Kristin, and I created a Webquest.
For the actual webquest we used google sites. The topic of
our webquest was apples. We all worked together, using the
internet and the outlines given in class to create this webquest.
The purpose of our webquest was for students to learn about
different types of apples and what they are good for. This
webquest would be linked to a first or second grade trip to an apple
orchard. We found all of our information by looking at the Beak
and Skiff apple orchard website. We also used google images to
get our pictures. Working together made this project much better
because we could bounce ideas off eachother and finding information was
much easier with three people looking.
This project will be very helpful in the future because you could make
a webquest for any subject. Being able to let students work on
their own with guided learning is a very valuable thing, this gives
them an opportunity to be independent while still learning what they
need to learn. I believe that when I am a teacher I will make
webquests to go along with many different lessons.
