Web Quest

This week I created a Webquest.  Questgarden is a wonderful resource for teachers who are interested in incorporating webquests in their classrooms.  It was very easy to navigate and create a webquest using questgarden. 
In a fifth grade class I co-teach, We used a wequest to guide students on a journey of world explorers.  It is a wonderful way to encourage self direction and teamwork.  Everyone can play a role in the finished product.

A web quest is time consuming and should not be taken lightly.  The idea is to allow students to navigate the web quest on their time without needing to ask too many questions.  Be careful not to have too much information.  the task will get lost.

This is a Web quest to introduce students and families to the exciting events taking place in our very own state. Hosting the Equestrian Games is an honor and we are excited to share our state with others around the world. The goal is for students to learn about the Equestrian Games and invite others to attend. Students will have the opportunity to create displays, brochures, PowerPoint's or advertisements for others to see.
Their task is to research information on The 2010 World Equestrian Games. Use the links provided to do the researching.
Once you have researched thoroughly you may complete one of the following:
1.  Create a brochure using Microsoft Publisher.
2.  Create a presentation using Microsoft Power Point.
3.  Create an advertisement display.
The finished product must entice and persuade the viewers to attend the Equestrian Games. Use pictures and the information that you have attained from the links to the websites.
Students will get in groups of 4-5.  Each group will decide what type of product they are going to create.  Groups will navigate through the Alltech website.  Students will   create their final product by finding the most important data that will encourage others to attend the games. http://www.alltechfeigames.com/
