WebQuest

WebQuest	Strengths	Weaknesses
Gorillas	Some of the information that the students are finding, is good and helpful to the students. It will take a shorter amount of time to learn a lot of information.	This worksheet has a lot of different parts to it, I will take the students a lot of time to complete. I do not think that all of the information is needed to give the students a good understanding of this topic.
Shakespeare	This project will take a while to do. They are in a group so the students will be able to split up the work. Even though this project will take a while, I think the students will learn a lot of from. They will better understand how things were in Shakespeare's  time period.	I do not think that this site had a lot of weaknesses.
Earthquakes	I think this project is extremely good. It will take a lot of time to do, but students will learn the best structures to make to prevent earthquakes. In the process they are going to learn a lot about earthquakes and how powerful they can be.	This could take a little more time than needed. If a group decides to make their project "perfect" then it will require more time and they aren't spending their time learning but making their project pretty and "perfect".
Country	They will learn a little bit about the country but it will take more time than the project is worth.	This project is going to require a lot of work and time. They are planning a trip to this country. This is going to take more time than needed. They are going to be planning a trip rather than learning a lot of information about the country they are visiting .
Waves and Sound	They will learn a little bit about waves and calculate the wave mass and such.	This project will require a lot of time. It is basically researching and finding information, rather than doing something and learning about it. They are not learning as much information as they should in that amount of time.It will be a lot of busy work that they probably wont remember in the future.

I am the efficiency expert 

Which two are the best & why?

Shakespeare and earthquakes. They are hands on. They take more time but they are providing students with a lot of information that they will use in the future. 

Which two are the worst? Why?

Country and Gorillas. They students are taking a lot of time to do these projects but they are more busy work than anything. I don't think they will retain a lot of what they learned. 

What does best & worst mean to me?

Best means the amount of time spent on the project will equal the amount of information they have learned. 
The worst means that they are doing a lot of work for nothing. They are spending a lot of time on it but not learning anything. 

Group Discussion: The best WebQuest are group decided on was the Shakespeare. It was very good in every spot. It had a lot of useful information.

The worst WebQuest was the gorillas. It was lacking in every spot. It was not a good WebQuest and it could use some different ideas and changes to make it a lot better.
