Webquest reflection 2

We finished our webquest in class this week. It is really neat! First you start out on a title page that says "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". It has a picture from the storybook. Then teachers click on the teachers button while students click on the students button to view the slides they need. Then they can go through the process clicking on the words that lead them to the different pages we created. The process page for the students view tells them some information about one of the stages for caterpillars and butterflies then they click on a link and see the images that show this happening. Then they click next and they have to answer a question about what they just learned and saw. If they get it right, a slide come up that says "GOOD JOB!" If they didn't get it right, a slide comes up that says "Try again" and they would try until they get it right. They would do this with all the questions. When they get it right, they also get a little pom pom that they would add to their caterpillar and at the end, they add wings that they colored. after the questions, there is a link that sends them to a video that shows a fast forward of a caterpillar making a cocoon. Then another one showing the butterfly coming out of the cocoon. It is fascinating. Then for a conclusion, there is a little activity on the web that they put the steps of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly in order. This was fun to do. I can use this same idea for many different subjects to teach students. It shows that even in the young grades you can integrate technology into the classroom. I think that the students would really enjoy this.
