Week Four

This weeks assignment went pretty smooth after I decided on what activity I wanted the students to complete. I feel that presenting new material in this manner would get the students more interested in what I am trying to teach them. I also think this would be a good way to encourage students to teach themselves. After completing this Web Quest I would hope that students would have confidence to research new topics on their own.
This assignment incorporates the following standards. The first one being modeling digital learning. Having the students use various websites in order to find out new information is a great way to incorporate technology. In the Web Quest you have control over what websites students use so not only are you making sure they are using appropriate websites, but you can also be sure that they will be able to easily find all the information they need to complete the assignment. This Web Quest also inspires students learning and creativity. An activity like this is more likely to stick in the students minds rather than just showing a PowerPoint or presenting the material in a lecture format.
