I really enjoyed looking at all of the Webquests. I liked Courtney Shelby's the most. I enjoyed look at all the pictures and the lesson ideas. I look forward to stealing some of the ideas for my own use in the classroom. Courtney's has a lot of information and pictures. I thought that her tasks and assignments worked well with the topic. The webquest was very interesting and kept my attention throughout reading it.

I love Logan's WebQuest about basketball slang. His creative ways lure the student into learning make for a fun and informational lesson. Great job logan, keep up the good work sport!

I also thought that Courney Shelby's webquest was a favorite. Her layout was really creative and I thought it would relate well to students in her class. The images she chose were up to date and would make sense to her audience while at the same time keeping the class interested on the topic at hand. I also like that she linked to youtube videos for her class as well. I really think this webquest related well to students today which helps her to connect with her students.

The Web Quest that was my favorite was drug slang, by Courtney. Her Web Quest was full of interesting pictures that really capture you’re attention, and want to make you read about this slang. Her process page was full of these pictures. This can really capture the attention of students. I felt that having a debate in class would really help the students to understand the drug slang, and also be enjoyable for the students. Also, nobody else in class research drug slang, it’s a different type of slang that students would find intriguing.

I really enjoyed Angela Willie's WebQuest. I also did Prison Slang, and compared mine to hers. She had very good structure and flow within her lesson. It seemed very interactive and interesting for the students. The procedure seemed well thought out and assembled. I feel that her tasks and assignments flowed well, and allowed the students to become active in their learning process.

I loved the webquest by Liza Tressler the best of them all. It was very creative and well done. The images that she chose were very interesting and could help students learn more from them.

I viewed only a couple of webquest pages. Of the two, I like Courtney's site most. It is detailed and comprehensive. She put good effort in her work. "Big ups" Courtney! :-)

Shaya Barnett said...

I really enjoyed Angela Willie's WebQuest. I thought her WebQuest was age appropriate and I really liked the pictures and colors that were used. If I were a parent I would feel very comfortable with my 12th grader learning this information. Good job Angela!

After reviewing the webquest, I decided that my favorite is Samantha Jolly's 1960 Slang. I enjoyed the bright colors. I also enjoyed the pictures that were incoporated within the work they were cute and funny.

Angela Wille said...

My favorite Webquest was Courtney Shelby's. The pictures catch your attention and I can assume that it would catch a 12th grader's attention too. There was a wide range of things to do in the process and would keep a class entertained!

Samantha said...

My favorite WebQuest was by Heather Schultz. She did 1902's slang and it had an awesome picture on the introdution. The picture was a good eye-catcher. The lesson was interesting and entertaining. The lesson she created would appeal to students and make them enjoy learning about the 1920. Good job Heather!!

I think Heather Schultz did a great job on her Webquest! The cartoon in the introduction was hilarious, and I thought her webquest was very well organized, and would be fun to do. There were plenty of cool pictures to keep it fun and I liked hers the best.

My favorite webquest belonged to Chris Lacy and was on baseball slang. I thought it worked well and also provided the students the opportunity to have fun with the assignments. It was not only creative but also educational.

I enjoyed Courtney's webquest. I thought that she put a lot of time into it and made the assignments not only educational, but also practical. She used pictures that would leave an impact on the students. The colors and pictures worked well with the topic.

Logan said...

My favorite Webquest was Chris Lacy's on baseball. He did a fantastic job by giving history of the game before actually getting into his slang lesson. His color selection was also a high point, very minimalistic, but contemporary and easy to understand. Another strong point being his pictures; it looks like he has some skills in Photoshop. Good job, be safe and stay hydrated.

Laura Melfi said...

I really liked Chris’ webquest about baseball. I love watching baseball and I think that it’s easy for anyone to learn the slang. I think that many people who do not enjoy baseball would like it more if they had a better understanding of the slang used in the sport. The pictures and layout grabbed my attention but did not overwhelm me with information. The amount of information was very appropriate for the grade level. The evaluation was difficult enough to test the knowledge of the students, but not so difficult that they would be frustrated. I think that teaching students about baseball slang is a good way for them to learn about slang and enjoy it at the same time.

I enjoyed Courtney Shelby's WebQuest the most, because it has a clear purpose. The subject would definitely engage high school students no matter what, but this project goes beyond the shock value of talking about drugs in school to illuminate social and political issues that 12th graders need to know as educated citizens. This proves that teachers can use the internet in a fun, useful way irreplaceable by more traditional classroom methods. Good job!
