Extractions: Your family wants to take a special vacation. You get to decide where to go and what to see and do. What's the catch? The trip must teach you something. The pyramids in Egypt are neat and fun to study-but that's a long way to go. Are there any "wonders" like those in North America? Your mom says Mexico has some interesting pyramids, and you're curious about them. This sounds like a cool vacation! Then your sister chimes in. She wants to visit abandoned cliff dwellings in New Mexico. What are they like? What could you learn from visiting pyramids or ruins built into cliffs? Your Challenge Where should your family go on vacation? First you need to find places in the United States or Mexico that have wonders. Which one would you like to visit? How could you convince your family that a trip there would teach you something? Pick a "wonderful" place and prepare a poster or a travel brochure that will persuade you family members to visit it.

Web Quest Inservice I also felt great about being able to teach my peers about web quests.It was great to take what I have learned in the ILT program http://ouray.cudenver.edu/~gdanema/portfolio2/matrix/artreport5.html
Extractions: Artifact Report on Web Quest Inservice click to see Inservice Problem Analysis Rationale ... Responsibilities Problem Statement Teachers at Denver Christian are looking for new ways to integrate technology in their classroom. As a student in the ILT program I have learned to create Web Quests for my classroom. I was asked by my superintendent to lead an inservice on Web Quests. Return to top Analysis of Situation While preparing this inservice I had to remember that each teacher has different levels of knowledge in regards to technology. With this in mind, my goal in developing this inservice was to create a presentation that explained: What is a Web Quest? Why use a Web Quest? Where to find Web Quests? How to build your own Web Quest? I decided that using Power Point for my presentation would help my audience get a clear handle on Web Quests. Return to top Rationale My slide show was aimed at teachers with a varying degrees of computer knowledge. With this knowledge I created a very basic slide show. The show was created using simple computer language. I also used as many visuals as possible. The show was also organized in very simple understandable layout. Return to top Results I was very happy with the results. The slide show made my presentation much easier and it allowed me to have more interaction with the audience. I also received many positive comments from teachers about the presentation. Some enjoyed the simplicity of the presentation, while others appreciated the new knowledge they had gained.
