The Web Quest that Tricia and I chose, deals with several
different aspects. Students are asked to
plan a trip to the zoo. They must
carefully plan the entire day including cost and schedules. Although the Web Quest is very interesting
and overall a really good idea, there are several corrections that need to be
made and a few items that we just want to change or adjust. We are going to change the overall appearance,
because there are no graphics, and the background is basic and not eye catching
at all. We are planning to change the
situation and the tasks students have to complete. The original Web Quest has the entire class
researching the same zoo. We are going
to change this and each group will research a different zoo, and in the end the
entire class will have to look at the information and decide which zoo is more
travel and cost efficient. They will
also have to decide (based on information given) which zoo has the best accommodations
and overall attractions. In our new Web
Quest students will have to use maps and other materials to determine the
distance and time it will take to travel to and from their assigned zoo. (This is not covered or asked in the original
Web Quest, but we think it is a good idea for students to find the location of their
zoo, and it is a good way to integrate social studies into the activity) Overall I think this is going to be a really
good Web Quest, and although there are several things we want to change and
adjust the original (aside from many grammar errors) is really good.
