Mr. Whitehead,
I wanted to take a moment to explain to you why we should present Web Quests as a classroom tool at our summer professional development seminars. Web Quests are a great way for students to learn about or to increase their knowledge on a subject while safely exploring the internet. Teachers design the Web Quest and provide their students with links to specific web sites that have appropriate content. This is a new and exciting way for students to answer any question a teacher wants to ask.
Please take the time to look at this example: http://www.questgarden.com/47/99/7/070320082834/
Wasn't that fun?! Do not worry, our teachers could easily do this. There a tools out there that just ask you to fill in the blank and it is done. It is very simple to take an existing lesson plan and turn it into a Web Quest. I am very willing to teach this PD. I would group teachers by subject area and have them develop a Web Quest for them to use next school year. I believe that this is an excellent way for our school to integrate technology in every subject area. It might even spark those reluctant teachers to start exploring the use of technology in their classrooms. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Thank you for your time.
