Week 6 Blog


I chose a WebQuest that teaches young students about geometric shapes, since this is a common lesson when children begin kindergarten (my area of interest and the classroom level in which I currently work).

This particular WebQuest was easy for me to follow. It seemed to have been designed very thoughtfully and in a good, logical order. It also provides several options for different learning styles – visual learners, those who learn best by listening and watching, those who learn best by doing – so that all children would come across sections that would help them really grasp the concept through their own learning style.


I’m not sure about the video creation element that is included. That would not be appropriate for a kindergartener on his/her own. It seems like an odd thing to include, since an older student who is capable of creating a video would not be learning about shapes. If a class did a video project together or a student had a parent help, that would work. But not as a solo project.
