Classes 2- 3: WebQuests

WebQuests

WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented online tool for learning, says workshop expert Bernie Dodge. This means it is a classroom-based lesson in which most or all of the information that students explore and evaluate comes from the World Wide Web. Beyond that, WebQuests:

• can be as short as a single class period or as long as a month-long unit;
• usually (though not always) involve group work, with division of labor among students who take on specific roles or perspectives;
• are built around resources that are preselected by the teacher. Students spend their time USING information, not LOOKING for it.

Today we are going to try one of the WebQuests. Your assignment will be to complete a WebQuest about your learning style.Please read carefully and follow all the instructions in the following WebQuest http://www.zunal.com/webquest.php?w=68399

Step 1 (this class):
Today you need to define a learning style that fits you, to help me place you into one of the groups that we'll get and to start working on the group part of the WebQuest.
Here are links to the personality tests: 1 , 2 (and you can also find your own tests to find out your learning styles)
Step 2 (the next class):
Your groups will have to make presentations during the next class.

GOOD LUCK!
