Technology Implementation Project Web Quest: http://www.kn.att.com/wired/fil/pages/webafricaji.html

Web Quest Update: I have finished my web quest on Africa ant it is now on the web! My cooperating teacher really likes it and I've sent it to my Grafton technology guru, Christine Pregler, for her approval. My lesson plans for the three days I plan to use the webquest are above - Day 1: slpafrica1, Day 2: slpafrica2, Day 3:africaslp3. Days 1 and 2 are for the web quest, creating the flyer, and preparing for the oral presentation. Day 3 are group oral presentations. I'm really excited about teaching with technology to introduce my unit, which I begin on Feb. 28th.

Because York County has just blocked wikispaces.com, I can no longer use my webquest on this page. I am now in the process of putting my webquest on another space, which I am doing on http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil. I am currently putting my sites onto a hot list that I can turn into a webquest. The webquest on wikispaces is an overview of what I'm going to do with the introduction to Africa; however, there also will be four additional groups on Achebe, //Things Fall Apart//, and a travel plan to Nigeria. The students will create a flier as written documentation and also present orally to the rest of the class (using the jigsaw-type of group activity). I plan to implement my technology with my tenth grade world literature class during the first two weeks of March.
