Evaluating Websites & Designing WebQuests
For this class the objectives will be to learn what a webquest is, how to design one, and to help you design and construct a webquest that you can use with your classes. To reach these objectives you will need to access only a few sites that I have listed below. Please explore these sites and come to class with a topic and beginning description of the webquest that you will design. It is suggested that you bring in an organizational tree with your topic and the subtopics that you want your class to explore. The more you have planned your topic and the kinds of activities in which your studens will engage, the better prepared you will be to write a thoughtful WebQuest. In class we will discuss the nature of this pedagogical approach, we will review some sites and then begin the process of assisting you to build your quest.
Here are the Student Template and Teacher Template.
View My traditional WebQuest on this approach and compare it to the Questgarden Version.
Documenting & Creating with Video (iMovie)
This class will introduce you to the concept and process of creating digital learning stories and other video projects. We will review the process of creating and editing digital video using iMovie and Movie Maker. We will discuss in detail the Project Team assignment and give you practice filming and editing video.

Web 2.0 and Communities of Learning (Collaborative and Online learning tools)
One of the great new frontiers in educational technologies is the use of these tools to bring learners and teachers of all ages together to communicate and work together.
