Teaching the Students Webquest

Dr. Benavides gave me some great ideas to work with the students. The first was Webquests. Every one of my students had no clue what it was and each student very surprised that the internet contained educational ideas as such. So as I introduced it each one felt that it was something that they really enjoyed.
I am currently in the French Revolution unit. I wasn't able to go outside the box as such yet because of testing for their six period. But now that they got a taste of what a webquest does and how it works I will have each student create their own Webquest for the next unit. I should say that the next unit is going to be the Industrial Revolution. This unit contains inventions from all over the world. This will give me the opportunity to have each students research and create from different world perspectives. I'm very excited. I briefly shared with the students my ideas of their next project and I could see the wheels turning in them. And I must say that was very exciting too!
One of my compadres in the MAT was wondering about movies, other technology and maybe uses other students from different countries as pen pals. Great suggest that Dr. Benavides already has in store for me. I glad to read that we are on the same page. I also have a conference that I'm going to that teaches us how to podcast and for student to do the same in the classroom. I'm really looking forward to it.
