Proceedings Conference Overview Call for Participation Track Sessions ... itconf@mtsu.edu Eighth Annual Mid-South Instructional Technology Conference The Challenge Continues March 30-April 1, 2003 2003 Conference Proceedings The Best of Two Worlds: Combining ITV and Web Quests to Strengthen Distance Learning By: Charmaine Mosby Track 2 - Innovation and Future Implementation in Instructional Technology Interest: Faculty :: Lecture/Presentation :: Level: Intermediate Abstract Increasing emphasis upon Distance Learning demands creative approaches for course delivery, preferably combining advantages of interactive television and the web. My response was to set up a graduate seminar as an experimental hybrid course: roughly 60% face-to-face and 40% web course (web quest format). This presentation outlines the process of course development, explains my choices, and uses this seminar to illustrate the efficiency of hybrid courses. Proceeding The professionalism of twenty-first century teacher preparation is continually growing: teacher standards are becoming more rigorous, methods of delivery are becoming more diversified, and even the terminology is becoming more precise.  In fact, a person who took the National Teachers Exam forty years ago would find a number of unfamiliar items on this year’s PRAXIS.  Despite these obvious and significant changes, university educators’ basic goals remain the same: to help public school teachers prepare students to live and work in today’s electronic world (ISTE,2000)

44. Clever Questioning -- Teachers @ Work - Mark Teadwell In the past if we desired to teach highly contextual units of work we would On the web now we are starting to see the development of “web quests”, units of http://www.treadwell.co.nz/searching_notes.htm

Clever Questioning Art English Language General Languages ... WebQuests • Christian Education American Search Our 23 Quality Criteria Asking clever questions and then searching the web for solutions The key problem solving skills involve: Thinking critically, creatively, reflectively and logically. Exercising imagination, initiative and flexibility. Identifying, describing and redefining problems and analysing them from a variety of perspectives. Making connections and establishing relationships. Inquiring and researching, and exploring, generating and developing ideas. Testing ideas and solutions and making decisions on the basis of experience and supporting evidence. Evaluating processes and outcomes Order the book and get all the details, exercises, detailed suggestions for researching the internet and much more. How do encourage students to think? The technology we now have allows us for the first time to ask clever questions, questions that force students to manipulate information in ways that encourage the development of understanding and the improvement of conceptual models. In the past we could not ask students to compare an Allasaurus and an elephant and suggest 5 similarities and 5 differences in how they lived, because we could not resource the question. We have 29 books in the library on dinosaurs but none would have given the information we require at the level we required, so we have been trapped teaching thematic, broad-based projects such as pollution, travel, space, dinosaurs, Romans, etc.

46. Web Quest There are even web sites out there that generate web quests for you with your information. http//teachers.teachnology.com/web_tools/web_quest/. http://www.marshall.k12.mi.us/tech/Web Quest.htm

Web Quest Definitions A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet, optionally supplemented with videoconferencing. There are at least two levels of WebQuests that should be distinguished from one another. Short Term WebQuests The instructional goal of a short term WebQuest is knowledge acquisition and integration, described as Dimension 2 in Marzano's (1992) Dimensions of Thinking model. At the end of a short term WebQuest, a learner will have grappled with a significant amount of new information and made sense of it. A short-term WebQuest is designed to be completed in one to three class periods. Longer Term WebQuest The instructional goal of a longer term WebQuest is what Marzano calls Dimension 3: extending and refining knowledge. After completing a longer term WebQuest, a learner would have analyzed a body of knowledge deeply, transformed it in some way, and demonstrated an understanding of the material by creating something that others can respond to, on-line or off-. A longer term WebQuest will typically take between one week and a month in a classroom setting. Critical Attributes WebQuests of either short or long duration are deliberately designed to make the best use of a learner's time. There is questionable educational benefit in having learners surfing the net without a clear task in mind, and most schools must ration student connect time severely. To achieve that efficiency and clarity of purpose, WebQuests should contain at least the following parts:

To Search or Not to Search Middle School Students Researching on the Web Problems with Searching for Middle School Students Middle school students are just beginning to get a handle on researching, They are beginning to be able to pull information form well written, approved sources, but they have not typically had much experience with evaluating what makes a good source of information. Searching can lead a student into areas that are inappropriate for them and to sites that contain biased opinions masquerading as facts. When a middle school student attempts a search on a general search engine, much time can be wasted. Most search engines produce results that are overwhelming with too much information to sort through. Random searching perpetuates the myth: "If its on the Internet it must be true.
