I have talked to one of my co-workers to get a better idea on the true meaning of a webquest. I guess I haven't observed much or really looked at other webquests to get an idea of how to put it together. I have changed the weekly assignments to weekly missions. I am leaving my powerpoints but I will be adding my voice to it so the students can listen as they go through it. I found more short videos and added on to my webquest. I also added documents to it, which was very tricky. I have added charts, a rubric, and a cerificate that can be printed it out. Sorry if I'm using one of your ideas, Melissa, about adding a certificate. I am taking out my Jeopardy game only because that was for the whole class to use. I have added some sites that have activities for student to complete that will help the students to better understand how Matter can change. I have also added technology elements for the students to complete: Glogster and PowerPoint. About mid way, the students will complete a Glogster to show that they know the three types of Matter. The PowerPoint they will be creating will sum up all the changes that Matter can change and it can change.
This whole experience is eye opening for me. I believe the next time I complete another webquest, which I will, I will have a better plan of attack. I will still use Kompozer as the program of choice. I like the freedom of creating my own template and adding in different features that can set my webquest apart from the rest.
