The Importance Of Web Quests

It was hard trying to figure out who I wanted to do my web quest on. At first I really did not know what a wequest is. I felt really out of the loop on what technology is available to me. I had to do some research on what a web quest is. I was looking all over the internet to find a website to show me some examples of web quests. Then I had a wow moment. I was saying to myself look in the resource area of the class. When I did it took me straight to where I needed to go. Web quests are an idea that includes the work from an internet source (Dodge, 2007). A lot of teachers use web quests to create lesson plans for their students. This is probably why I had never heard of web quests. Web quests include an introduction, task, process,

There is so much information on the web. Making resources match what information is needed is the most time consuming part of a web quest (Dodge, PhD, B. 2007). I had trouble trying to figure out where to start. Eventually I just walked away and came back later at one in the morning. I had to trouble because the topic I was looking for did not have much information on it (Fleming, 2014). I remembered in order to do the resources I needed to know what I wanted my students to learn. What activities did I want them to research and what do I consider to be fun. The process was a little easier because it is just what is needed to get to the finished product. When I started doing this I saw I needed to add more things to the task section. The evaluation section gave me a healthy respect for what teachers have to go through. It is hard to create a rubric on how to grade projects. The conclusion is just a wrap up of what has happened. I was so happy when I got to this section. I took a moment and re looked over my web quest to see if I could do the activities with the information provided. I decided I wanted to include others historical figures to the web quest. I decided to do this because what I found interesting may be different for my

I wanted to know where the term for kindergarten came from. This is exciting to me to read about the ideas of Froebel. He faced many challenges in his life which is very inspirational to me. Froebel is interesting because he was a part of a big family. A big family to me is more than three children. He was the fifth child in the family (Forbes, 2012). He had a very hard life. His parents died when he was very young. I do not know whether I would have handled my life the way he did. Being the fifth child comes with a lot of challenges. I do not believe he received as much attention as he should have. He moved with an uncle when he was old enough to attend school. Wow, already he is facing a challenge in the beginning of his school years. Froebel had a gift when he first began school. He was able to gravitate toward languages and mathematics. I am sure this is something I would not have chosen. I knew from the beginning of my school years I wanted to do something with children. It was a struggle to choose whether I wanted to become a teacher or work with the younger children. I finally was able to choose after opening my own home
