Web+Quest

[]

The webquest I created was on the Holocaust. The task I created for my students was a research paper on a topic within the Holocaust. Students were asked to use the websites provided to write a 4-6 page paper supprting a thesis for the paper. I enjoyed creating this assignment because I feel as though it is something that I can use and other people can use as well. I think it is a great tool for teachers and for students. For students, they are using technology to follow instructions and the steps they need to complete an assignment. This is great because they can look at it at their own pace and they do not have to focus on listening to their teacher. This works well for the teacher because they do not have to repeat the assignment over and over because the students can continue to go back and forth through the webquest. The teacher is now free to focus on the importance of helping students with their thesis. I will use my own webquest as well as ones made by others as a guide and a reference for lessons in history. Students can use a webquest to answer work sheets, take a quiz, write papers or create a group project. I love the idea of having a mini web souce for the students to use, as opposed to just having search the endless internet for proper information.
