Teacher's Page
Home Up Workshop Assignments Schedule Building a Website Class WebQuests

 

The Teacher Page can be long or short and sometimes may not be included at all. Some WebQuests even have parallel Teacher sites that explain each part of the WebQuest in detail to teachers who might use it (a different page for task, process, evaluation, etc.).

Information you could include:

  • The title of the WebQuest.
  • What the class subject is and why you created this WebQuest. For example, I created this WebQuest as an alternative activity to writing an ordinary book report.
  • Who the students are (grade and ability). What should they already know before they do this.
  • The standards you tied this to.
  • What kind of learning outcomes are you teaching? For example as well as information, your goal is that students will recognize that "truth" and "opinion" are not always clearly separable. What kind of thinking skills will they use?
  • How long do you think it will take? One lesson or more?
  • How will the groups be divided? Will students work on their own?
  • What will you need to explain beforehand?
  • What skills does the teacher need, if any?
  • How may you vary it for length or other circumstances?
  • What resources, beyond those mentioned in the student section, that you used. Include things like parents or volunteers.
  • Alternative ways of conducting the process and your anticipated time-line.
  • Why you chose this particular WebQuest to create. (What is uniquely useful about it.)
