We began our discussion of WebQuests today, mainly focusing on what is expected and what the ultimate goal of the project is. While the project does seem to loom overhead, I feel more comfortable beginning the process now than I did at the beginning of the class.
While looking at previously submitted WebQuests I noticed a common theme: students are expected to create something. I need to take time to think about this in the context of my topic, but it is certainly my main goal when developing my WebQuest. I want the students to be able to create something digitally, not just explore digitally. While both are important and relevant skills, I think the entire project will become more engaging and exciting if the students are actively involved in the process of making something.
I also want to try and challenge myself to create a WebQuest that is accessible on mobile devices because many elementary classes are using iPads more frequently.
