Today we are going to talk about online tools from the Intel corporation. The first tool can be found under "Thinking Tools". We used the ranking tool. We ranked the webquests we viewed on a Webquest About Webquests from best to worst.
Next, we filled out a survey about the webquest we are going to create.
My webquest is centered on the qualities of the epic hero. Each student is assigned a hero. Before they read, they are to create a list of qualities they think the epic hero might have. Then, they are to read the stories associated with those heroes and make a list of qualities they have that might be the qualities of the epic hero. Compare the two lists. Then, they will get with the other members of their group and compare the lists. Comprise one list for the whole group. Then, all together, they are to write a short story with the main character possessing the qualities of an epic hero.
This falls under the NETS Standards:
1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
c. promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes.
Students will complete a Webquest, a collaborative project that will help them understand the concept of the epic hero.
a. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness.
Part of the webquest requires students to write their own story about the epic hero.
2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
a. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
This will be a relevant learning experience, as we are going to be talking about the epic hero in class, and the students will use digital tools to gather this information and compose their own story.
