Timeframe can consist of short-term or long-term webquests. (Concept developed by Bernie Dodge In a short-term WebQuest , the instructional goal is simply knowledge acquisition and integration. Each student obtains and processes a significant amount of new information from the Web and in-school materials. Short term WebQuests are designed to be completed in one to three class periods. In a long-term WebQuest , the instructional goal increases one level, challenging students to extend and refine the knowledge they find online and in the real world. Each student deeply analyzes a body of knowledge, integrates it into their knowledge base. Long-term WebQuests can take between one week and one month to complete.

86. Mrs. Couture’s Why Teach Technology Why teach Technology. For example my Butterfly web Quest covers Arizona State standards in the academic areas of Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, Social http://coe.west.asu.edu/students/mcouture/whytt.htm

Why Teach Technology Technology is embedded in the lives of our young children. "Most children have spent more time watching television and videos than they have spent reading. They have grown up with remote controls and computer toys," according to Erik Strommen of the Children's Television Workshop. "Our children are being raised in a world where they have instant access to information, where they control the flow and access of that information through a mouse, remote control, or a video game controller." Technology had become a vital part of our daily lives. With that in mind, common sense tells us that young children need to have access to technology on a regular basis. "They need to have the opportunity to construct their own knowledge through play and exploration, so they can create, reflect upon and work out their own understanding" (Vygotsky, 1978). "Technology is a tool that can change the nature of learning", according to Lynne Schrum of Education World. The real world is not broken down into separate academic subjects. Through technology, educators can create project-based integrated lessons. Through the use of project based lessons, children have the opportunity to acquire knowledge, and take an active role in acquiring that knowledge. Using technology also allows children to learn through exploration, which is an integral part of learning. Exploration provides children with a range of learning experiences, allowing for a variety of learning styles. While students are acquiring knowledge through their exploration, they becoma active learners. When that occurs, it allows educators allow for a range of acceptible outcomes, instead of insisting on one correct answer.

97. Rubrics For Web Lessons Articles on the web and some examples of rubrics will focus your effort and stimulate your creativity. Resources web Sites. Rona s Ultimate Teacher Tools http://webquest.sdsu.edu/rubrics/weblessons.htm

Introduction How often have you attempted to grade your students' work only to find that the assessment criteria were vague and the performance behavior was overly subjective? Would you be able to justify the assessment or grade if you had to defend it? The Rubric is an authentic assessment tool which is particularly useful in assessing criteria which are complex and subjective. Authentic assessment is geared toward assessment methods which correspond as closely as possible to real world experience. It was originally developed in the arts and apprenticeship systems, where assessment has always been based on performance. The instructor observes the student in the process of working on something real, provides feedback, monitors the student's use of the feedback, and adjusts instruction and evaluation accordingly. Authentic assessment takes this principle of evaluating real work into all areas of the curriculum. The rubric is one authentic assessment tool which is designed to simulate real life activity where students are engaged in solving real-life problems. It is a formative type of assessment because it becomes an ongoing part of the whole teaching and learning process. Students themselves are involved in the assessment process through both peer and self-assessment. As students become familiar with rubrics, they can assist in the rubric design process. This involvement empowers the students and as a result, their learning becomes more focused and self-directed.
