WebQuest Analysis

THE ATTITUDINIST





Your Impressions

WebQuest
Strengths
Weaknesses
Saving the Gorillas
 This covers good specific details for the scientific processes of collecting the information.  There are also a lot  of resources listed to give direction in finding the important information.

 There are a  lot of opinion statements within the first few pages of the site.

Shakespeare
 There are a lot of useful resource links on each page, directing the student to use information well.


 There is really only one area that allows students to show themselves through their assignment.
Earthquake

 This WebQuest allows the student to do a hands-on activity; and it also allows for multiple angles on a certain topic to be viewed.

 The WebQuest shows the standards that are presented in the lesson, but isn't very clear in showing which links on the left side are actually a part of the assignment.
Foreign Country
 There are several links to other pages that can provide more information on this project, and more insight.  It allows for new information to be found, not just information recall to occur.

 This isn't very visually appealing to the student.

Sound
 This WebQuest gives very explicit direction, and very good resource links.  This also allows for feedback that goes to the author.

 Introduces a new topic only by stating "***New Topic***"--instead of bold wording to easily differentiate between topics.
