The WebQuest process continues. Brook is doing an excellent job at putting together all of the information that we have gathered for our WebQuest. Putting together a WebQuest is a big task and takes many minds on the same page to bring it all together. I'm still tossed about my opinion of doing these as a group assignment. On the one side, it's sure nice to have other people to work with and be able to complete the assignment with. On the other hand, no matter how you throw the dice, there just isn't a way to make it equal work for all the members of the Pod and only one person really learns the process - especially since we've never discussed the process of making a WebQuest in class.
I love the idea of a WebQuest - but don't know the first step of making my own. I've helped contribute to the group as much as possible by looking at other WebQuests and seeing how they work. I've also helped with the ideas of what we want our WebQuest to look like and by finding the information and links for our WebQuest. As with all group projects, there are some students who contribute more than others and some students who fly under the radars and do the bare minimum requirements. I suppose this is good practice for when we are actually teachers. I know that we will have many opportunities to work together with our peers as teachers and that this same thing will happen in the field. By having these experiences as students, we will be able to know how to work with our fellow teachers to achieve a common goal.
VIDEO REFLECTION:
I remember watching this video in class and for a previous assignment. Watching it again made me think about my feelings the first time I saw it. This is a very powerful movie. This time I had my mom watch the movie with me. She was alive for most all of the events listed in the movie. It was fun discussing it with her after watching this movie again and being reminded about all the events in history that helped make us what we are today.
