WebQuest Evaluation 1

http://vanderseescience.weebly.com/mini-unit-global-winds.html

This WebQuest was super easy to follow and the resources are all up to date and ready for anyone to use. All of the links are up and working and organized with different headings so that teachers and students know what the links entail. The links are not just URLs either; they are titles that the links are attached to in order for more organization.

The WebQuest is based on notes, activities and worksheets all in one page for ultimate learning. The student can easily go through in order which activity to do first and what they need to look at.

There were also other websites that were available for the student to get into and learn even more about the topic of global winds and expand their knowledge into the Coriolis Effect and other topics that are relative to global winds. This would be good for students who finish early.

The WebQuest, in my opinion, lacked steps for a student or teacher to follow. I’m assuming there is a worksheet that lets the student know exactly what to do on that day and helps guide them through the WebQuest, but I thought there could be a separate link that will lead them to a guide. I also though that there could be two separate pages: a teacher page and a student page for more organization. Even directions above each of the links describing what they need to do or what they are going to learn, such as objectives, would help this WebQuest out.


Overall, I enjoyed looking in to this WebQuest and actually used this in one of my lessons. I printed out a page, however, to help the students and myself guide through all of the descriptions and activities.

  1. This webquest looked easy to follow and I really liked how they had additional resources listed that were both websites and videos. I struggle to find webquests that are all inclusive - meaning no materials you need to print out before or prepare ahead of time. So many of them come with worksheets to turn in or hard copies which aren't necessarily bad but it would be nice if somehow everything could be accounted for online.
