Out of all of our assignments, the webquest assignment is my favorite. I loved the experience of taking a lesson and making a team adventure out of it, and I know students will reap many benefits from this type of assignment!
One of the main benefits students will receive is the benefit of working with others as a team. This opportunity affords students the chance to learn from teammates and other groups, and the model can be used in any subject area. Webquests invite students to not only learn a subject, but to work together, problem solve, delegate responsibility, create, hold one-another accountable, use technology to peer-teach and present, phewww... The list goes on! I am excited about the possibilities!
As if that were not enough, webquest lessons satisfy ISTE Standard 1, among others; student learning and creativity will be inspired through the use of webquests, and all the while students will be honing their basic computer skills.
As a teacher-in-training, I appreciated researching the subject I chose and discovering all the free resources out there... It is nice to know that one does not have to reinvent the wheel to be an affective teacher. Additionally, connecting with other educators from all over the world and getting different perspectives and ideas is a bonus to using webquests! I can hardly wait to get started, and I already have some ideas...
