While WebQuests
are instructional tools that teachers can use to create engaging lessons,
older students can also be encouraged to produce their own WebQuests,
once they have mastered the use of teacher generated WebQuests. Creating
a WebQuest challenges students to explore a topic, summarize what the
most important events or facts are in relation to the topic, and then
put together the links and questions for other students to follow. The
creation of WebQuests can function well as a group project or as a long
term project to help students in analyzing and transforming content into
a format which is applicable to the educational community.
Portfolio Activity #4B - Having Students Create WebQuests
Develop a lesson through which
students create their own WebQuest. Be sure to include all learning objectives,
content standards addressed, and measures taken to ensure support for
students with special needs. Post the lesson plan to the WebQuest page
of your Digital Portfolio.
