WebQuest Evaluation

Your WebQuest should include the following parts:

Introduction - should grab their attention, connect to prior knowledge, and foreshadow what they will be learning about in the WebQuest. Should present an authentic scenario, problem, or question that will unify the WebQuest and provide a purpose and context for the task(s).

Task - should give students the "big picture" overview of what they will be doing in the WebQuest - including the final project that they will create - and ask essential questions that they will be learning about.

Process - should give very detailed, step-by-step instruction for completing the WebQuest and include varied Internet resources that they can use to find the information they need. All resources (at least 5) must be current, age-appropriate, and aligned with the unit objectives. You may develop up to three of the resources yourself (e.g., a presentation, podcast, etc.), but the rest should be freely available online. Your process must also include:

At least one scaffolding mechanism (worksheet, graphic organizer, outline, etc.) to help guide students through the process

At least one formative assessment. You may choose to use Google Form or quiz, survey, or poll.

Some form of collaboration or choice (e.g., discussion board, wiki, choice of topic to focus on, jigsaw, etc.)

Evaluation - should inform students how their work on the WebQuest will be evaluated and should include scoring guidelines/point values for formative assessments and/or a rubric for the summative assessment.

Conclusion - should remind students what they have learned and why it is important. Should also invite/require students to use what they have learned to improve their community or explain ways in which students can apply what they have learned.

Teacher Page – should include the WebQuest Lesson plan.

You will participate in a peer evaluation to check the navigation, links, clarity of instructions, etc. in your WebQuest prior to evaluation by your instructor.
