WebQuests - Evaluations and Peer Reviews

Today we will look at the requirements for the teacher page of your WebQuest. We will also talk about developing the Evaluation section of the student portion. Make sure that you are evaluating all parts of the task - and nothing else.

Take a minute to review another student's webquest. Use these questions to guide your review:

*Is the WebQuest topic authentic in order to engage students?
*Is the WebQuest task challenging and doable?
*Do the learners need to think independently and critically during the WebQuest activity?
*Is collaboration between students important for the successful completion of the WebQuest?
*What scaffolds (visual organizers, software tools, prompting questions and suggestions) are provided in the WebQuest?

Please remember that your WebQuest is due on Thursday, April 12 at the beginning of class.

For Thursday:
1. Your WebQuest is due Thursday, April 12 at the beginning of class. Review the project description to ensure you are completing all requirements. Make sure to publish the questgarden page AND your google pages.

2. Bring an ingredient for Trail Mix for Thursday's class.

3. Email Ying Liu (yliu@uga.edu) if you are interested in participating in the interview on self-directed learning. You can earn a late pass through your participation. Remember late passes can be used for assignments or an absence.
