This interactive Webquest fits within the scope of TWB through the characteristics of educators using multiple learning and teaching approaches and the curriculum is challenging, exploratory, integrative, and relevant.
This Webquest is a great way to get students involved in their own learning. It is appropriate for middle school students because they are able to work more independently. They are guided in the learning of the original 13 colonies are tested about their knowledge. There are so many students whose learning styles are visual and virtual that Webquests are easy for them to understand. They have fun while learning! This Webquest is also challenging their knowledge because they are exploring the web to teach them about the colonies. They are in charge....along with the guidance of the Webquest maker!

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteDid you not think a webaquest was the best thing since ice cream? I love them. They allow students to "play" with technology while the man behind the curtain (you) is directing them to all the interesting places they should visit on the web to learn about the task at hand. I probably won't use the 13 colonies in biology next year but, I am definitely going to look for more webquest! Gina Elliott
Great webquest! I have not seen very many webquests and I thought this one was really neat! It has a lot of information and seems like it will keep students engaged. Loved it! ~Wendy Marney
