When using computer-based instructional objects, the student dynamics must first be considered. Any class or forum should be tailored to the student's grade level, reading level, and comprehension level.
Some very good WebQuest examples are:
Music at the Pictures
History of African-American Jazz Musicians
I think that both of these examples are very good because of their demand for creativity and the clear expectations that are laid out for the student.

What you have said here is almost exactly what I said on my blog, so of course I agree. I think you and I must have visited the same website to access WebQuests, because I remember seeing those when I was searching for mine. I think the Music at the Pictures WebQuest could be very good for older students and of course, the History of African American Jazz Muscians is something to which all music students should be exposed.
ReplyDeleteOk. I think that I can post now. Paul, I think these are very interesting WebQuests, especially "Music At The Pictures." I am sure that your students would love doing one of these and your Jazz students would get a lot out of the African-American Jazz WebQuest. Would you have access to a computer lab for doing a WebQuest? How would you organize and monitor an assignment such as this with so many students in one class?
ReplyDeletePaul you definitely chose some good examples. When you post though you need to put more discussion of what we have been reading about in regard to pedagogy, strategies and organization.
ReplyDeleteOk. Thanks for the information, Nancy. I am still trying to figure out exactly what you want and require. I am finding that expectations are the most difficult part of taking an online course. This is my first time and I am taking CEP-810 and CEP811 concurrently.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, I would be able to use the computer lab at school or the WebQuest. There is a "home" computer that allows you to monitor and disconnect individual computers within the lab.
