    4. Tell me, what do you think of our discussions during our first weeks of class?
  • Let's make some time for groups to begin discussing projects.
  • Suggestion -- Unit Plans that include Web Quests, (PowerPoint) presentations, analog and digital video, and traditional media components.
  • A PowerPoint presentations could be used to introduce the Unit to students.
  • WebQuests can be used to direct students to valid resourses available on the World Wide Web.
  • A traditional analog video could give additional background.
  • In class activities that involve traditional and digital media are also usefull.
  • You work is also useful to others teachers by using the Teacher WebQuest model.
  • The information in a Teacher's Web Quest is designed to make it possible for others to use your work, and to document your work for yourself. For example ... who are the targeted learners, what is the teaching/learning process used, what resourses will be needed to execute this plan, how will work be evaluated, and what Curriculum Standards are satisfied.
  • The Teacher's Web Quest is also used to give proper credit to the work of others used in your Unit.
