CellQuest 2009 Professor David
Shutkin The theme for Fall 2009 is the integration of cell technology
into the learning scape. Why are cell
phones taboo in current classroom practice? Who is responsible for this
unwritten policy? Who are the agents
of change that recognize the tremendous pedagogic potential of cell phones? For your web quest, design a technologically enhanced learning
environment that illustrates the potential of cell phone technology. Any subject, topic or theme, any ages and/or grade levels. |

WebQuest Assignment Description
(Adapted
and modified for this course from the work of Dr. Bernie Dodge) Working in
a small group (2-3 people), research, design, produce and publish a WebQuest
to your John Carroll University web site.
The
WebQuest must be published to each group member’s website.
A Web Quest is an inquiry-oriented
activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn
from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners’ time well, to focus on
using information rather than looking for it, and to support learners’
thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. There are nine (9) sections to be included in the production of your WebQuest. Six (6) sections are described on the Student Page and
three (3) are described on the Teacher’s Page.
Your WebQuest is to include at least two(2) Web pages: 1.
Web Quest or Students’ page 2.
Teachers’ page Locate
the sections of the WebQuest Proposal on the appropriate pages, either
teacher’s or students’ pages Choose
a subject and topic for your WebQuest of interest to you or your
collaborative group. Publish
your WebQuest to your web site. The
Web Quest proposal
is to include the following sections: 1.
Introduction (Students’) 2.
Learners (Teacher’s) 3.
Task (Students’) 4.
Resources (Students’) Link to WebQuest Evaluation Rubric Following
the brief cover material, there are nine (9) sections to be included in the
design of your WebQuest. Six
(6) sections are described on the Student Page and
three (3) are described on the Teacher’s Page. As I evaluate your WebQuest, I
will consider the research and design of each section on a 4.0 scale ranging from
progressing towards goal (2.0), to realizing goal (3.0) exceeding goal
(4.0). Of most significance, I am interested in the correspondence
between the Task, the Process,
learners and the Evaluation. In
addition, because a Web Quest is
an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by
learners is drawn from the Web, the integration of web based resources
will be evaluated as well. Resources for and about producing WebQuests on the Web: WebQuest
