Webquests

We learned about webquests. They are activities that the students go through where they use the web to go to different sites and pictures. You could make a webquest to teach anything. They are really neat. There is a teacher view and student view. The taecher view will be helpful while looking for a webquest that fits with what you are teaching. There are websites that help you creat a webquest. We are creating a webquest in class. Our group is doing a first grade webquest about how the book The Hungry Caterpillar. We will talk about how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. We will go through each step and have a question they need to answer. When they answer it, they add a little pom pom to their caterpillar they are making. When they are through, thery should have added wings to their caterpillar to make a butterfly. It will be very cute! I am so excited to use webquests. I think it is a really good idea to use webquests for a book you are reading in class. I think that it makes the students relate more to what is happening. There are so many things you can do wit webquests. I am really excited to use them and I am so glad we are getting a chance to learn about the way they work and how to create them.
