Today we completed an activity in which we had to choose a WebQuest based on a role we each portrayed. My role was that of an Efficiency Expert. My decision was based on the perameters that a given activity must teach the students as much as possible in as short an amount as possible. I chose Grow School Greens as my favorite WebQuest because although it was lengthy experiment I believed it forced the students to really focus on the project and subjectively research possible solutions to a real problem that was relevant to them.
This activity allows students to meet ISTE-S Standard: 4-Critical, Thinking Problem Solving, and Decision Making; subsection b. WebQuesting meets this goal because students are able to plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project.
Good choice of standard for this activity! Don't forget to link to the WebQuest about WebQuests to serve as they artifact for this magazine!
