Webquest

The webquest may have been one of my most challenging, yet most rewarding assignment this semester. This is the one assignment that I feel really challenged me. The challenge of creating the assignment in full was probably the most work for me, but the programs were also somewhat of a struggle. I had gone through three programs before I was able to get one to work for me. I ended up using questgarden.com which both made the assignment go smoothly and quite difficult due to the lack of personalization.

Creating a research type assignment for business classes was quite difficult for me. I do not feel that a lot of research is done as it may be for history or similar subject. For this reason I decided to create an assignment were the students would research something and create a business document from the information they gathered. The challenge for the students is to research their hometown (in this case Morgantown) and create a marketing/tourism brochure, booklet, or webpage that promotes this town. Through this assignment the students would not only be doing research to figure out what aspects of the location would be useful for promotion purposes, but would also be utilizing their computer skills in creating the final document. This webquest could be altered in numberous ways to creat different experiences or outcomes. Each group could be assigned a different city or state, additional elements could be added or changed, and the final outcome could be changed to a poster or oral presentation rather than a brochure or webpage.
