WebQuest


WebQuest - Rainforest


For the webquest project I worked with Elena. It was great working with her as she was very creative and helpful. We created one on the rainforest. The rainforest is amazing and students should have the opportunity to learn about all the plant and animal life within it. This project is something we believe students will be excited about.

For this activity we wanted to have students’ work in groups and study the different layers of the rainforest. They will do research and become experts of their assigned layer. Each group will have the chance to complete a KWL chart using pbwiki and keep a journal using notesake.com. They will then have the opportunity to share what they learned with the other groups.

The webquest allows them to gain more knowledge about the rainforest—the layers, the animal life, and plant life. It is exciting and they will be incorporating technology into their projects.

For the most part zunal.com was user-friendly. However, we did have a few minor setbacks. But all in all I agree with Elena this was fun to create and will definitely share it with other teachers.
