Extractions: The participants included boys and girls from one third grade class, two fifth grade classes, and one sixth grade class. Funds Received: What were the project goals and objectives? The project goals and objectives were to provide the students with a more meaningful way to learn about a variety of subjects using real-world tasks. The projects included ties with state standards and provided both, teachers and students opportunities to enhance their technology skills. How did you accomplish your goals and objectives? The teachers were trained on how to use FrontPage 2000. Each teacher created a Web Quest for her classroom. All Web Quests met the objectives that had been established in the grant. Since the Web Quests took a little longer to create than we had anticipated and some rooms only had 1-2 computers, some classrooms chose to pilot their Web Quests with a sampling of students rather than the whole class this year. Next year, we hope to have all students involved in each class. How did this project affect student learning at your school?

Extractions: Literature Webquests What is a WebQuest? Why would I want to use a WebQuest in my classroom? Where can I find WebQuests on the Internet? How do I create my own WebQuests? How do I assess students' work? What is a WebQuest? A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet, optionally supplemented with videoconferencing. There are at least two levels of WebQuests that should be distinguished from one another. (Bernie Dodge, San Diego State University) Level One: Short Term WebQuests The instructional goal of a short term WebQuest is knowledge acquisition and integration. At the end of a short term WebQuest, a learner will have grappled with a significant amount of new information and made sense of it. A short-term WebQuest is designed to be completed in one to three class periods. Level Two: Longer Term WebQuest The instructional goal of a longer term WebQuest is extending and refining knowledge. After completing a longer term WebQuest, a learner would have analyzed a body of knowledge deeply, transformed it in some way, and demonstrated an understanding of the material by creating something that others can respond to, on-line or off-. A longer term WebQuest will typically take between one week and a month in a classroom setting.

Webquests There are many webQuests that have been published and available on the World Wide web. http//www.longwood.k12.ny.us/lhs/teach/webq/lmasterjohnlord/ http://techteachconcepts.com/webquests1.htm
Extractions: WebQuests A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet. At the end of a WebQuest, a learner will have grappled with a significant amount of new information and made sense of it. The internet resources are pre-selected and the WebQuest involves students in a task, which guides the learning. Using a predesigned WebQuest assures that students will not be "just surfing" the internet for information. This is teacher-sharing at its best! There are many WebQuests that have been published and available on the World Wide Web. Listed here are examples of the best that I have found organized into Subject Categories. The WebQuest Page is the website of Dr. Bernie Dodge and Dr. Tom March from the University of San Diego. They were the originators of the WebQuest. Here you will find information on the WebQuest, in general, and a matrix of examples.

Extractions: Integrating the Internet into the Curriculum Using WebQuests in Your Classroom A quiet revolution is taking place on the Internet. K-12 educators and university professors around the world are working together to develop new, innovative ways to bring the Internet into their curriculum, and then sharing their successful implementations with others via the World Wide Web. In the summer of 1995, Bernie Dodge, a professor of educational technology at San Diego State University, developed an innovative approach to using the Internet as an integral part of teaching any subject at any grade level. He wrote a brief, three-page summary of his new idea, and promptly posted it to the World Wide Web. Since that summer day, hundreds of wired K-12 educators have visited Dodge's WebQuest Home Page, studied his unique approach, and adopted it for use in their classrooms. Indeed, the word "WebQuest" has quickly become one of the hottest educational technology buzzwords, both online and in the real world.
