Webquest would be easy to adopt in our project with a 6th-8th grade Language Arts class. We could develop a Webquest asking the students to listen to a short paragraph being read and anser the questions that follow. For example, we could ask them to name the voice of the writing, any specific emotion or sensory words used, onomatopoeia's, etc. I think the students will learn better if they can liten and watch their teacher read a passage, it will be easier for them to pick out the parts that the teacher is looking for.

A good example of WebQuest can be found by following this link. This is a good example because it encorporates multiple representations of the content, student contruction of content, and shared responcibility. This WebQuest would be great to use to help the students learn more about technology and the history of the computer.

Being able to create and use WikiSpace is a helpful tool that I think will be especially useful to me in my educational career. A WikiSpace can serve as a communication tool between teachers and students as well as a resource to check information and get feedback from your peers. This tool is wonderful for communicating with your students and creating assignments and writing up reference tools is simple and easy to use!
