WebQuest Reflection

 

WebQuest Reflection

1. What? - Creating the WebQuest was an enjoyable process.  My teammate and I worked well together.  I was surprised at the versatility of Power Point.  In my content area of Art I imagine this will be well suited for researching art history.  I think I will only use it for historical research.  

 

2.  So What? - This project allowed me to be creative as a teacher and explore an engaging concept behind the knowledge sought for in the quest.  We worked well together with good report and humor.  We were interested in the idea of having students choose a character from the book and perform several tasks from the vantage point of their attitudes and world view.  While I enjoyed exploring those ideas my partner helped more with the structure and formatting of the WebQuest.  That is something I would need to work on to be prepared to do it on my own.

 

3.  Now What? - I would like to make a WebQuest that helps students understand Contemporary Art History, so that they can properly place themselves in time.  Too many students feel they are making original or progressive art that is actually stale and flat. 

I also hope that my students gain a sense of their own unique voice.  This idea could be explored in a WebQuest that need not be limited to art itself.

To complete this I need to see how it fits in with the state core and my overall curriculum.  This will help me design it and place it properly in the schedule.
