Teacher Notes

 

  • When I first began linking the various pages together, I only hade a "Menu" link that would return student back to the index (the first page).  In re-reading Sara B. Kadjer's The Tech-Savvy Classroom , I was reminded of a structural note:  "An effective WebQuest will provide links to the differnet sections from each of its pages" (82).  When writing and editing the pages for this WebQuest, I found myself frustrated when I had to constantly refer to the main menu in order to navigate to another page.  If this time consuming routine frustrated me, it would certainly disengage a user/student.

 

  • For those educators who are a bit encounter HTML editors with trepidation, there is an excellent website that can easily assist you with designing a webquest.  Questgarden is an amazing resource that will take you through every page of a webquest.  Each page heading comes equipped with what steps you need to take to seamless guide your students' progression.  This site is also helpful if you students are interested in designing their own webquests.
