Ode to Webquests

Yo diggity. I am here to rap about web quests. No i am not. i am just kidding. I really like the idea of web quests because it helps the children learn while also using a computer which in todays world you really need to know to get by. They can also learn how to work in a group or individually. it really matters on how you set it up.

I plan on creating a web quest on volcanos and earthquakes and how they happen. Students will learn about subduction zones and mid ocean ridge, convection currents and the different layers of the earth.

  1. I agree that students need to know and understand how to use technology, and I think when that is an option or a required part of the assignment they will enjoy the tasks more than normal!

  2. Sounds like a great idea! There are a lot of good websites you can use to have students explore and learn about volcanos and earthquakes. I would suggest checking out the smithsonian website for one of your resources because I bet you could find some great information there based on the website evaluation someone did of it last week.

  3. that sounds like a good idea. What grade level? you need to be sure to link it to a standard for a particular grade level.
