Webquesting!

Posted by: mlmachuga on: July 30, 2009

I have never made a webquest until now and I am really enjoying finding the information about pumpkins that I want my students to learn and putting it into my webquest.  I think that you can use webquest in any grade.  As a teacher we just have to adjust and make the information grade level appropriate.  I am working on my webquest for my pumpkin unit and I have been able to incorporate United Streaming videos into it to help show students the information about pumpkins life cycle that I think is important for them to learn.  In the past I have seen how excited my students get completing activities on the computer and I think that this would be another great learning tool and interactive activity that would really engage students so that they grasp what is being taught.  I am using Zunal to make my webquest and it is very helpful when setting up your webquest.  It is easy to follow and very direct on where to put the information.  Once I complete my webquest I know that I will use it for years to come with my kindergartners.  This will be the first time using a webquest in my classroom and I know it will be a little challenging showing them and training them on how to do the activity but I know once I do it with them I will be able to go back and make corrections and make positive changes to it for future years.  If it works out smoothly on the first try then I will make another one for more units.  I can’t wait to try it out.
