Weighting: 30%

Length: 30 minutes

Due Date: To be negotiated.

PURPOSE:

OUTLINE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:

There are 3 aspects to this assignment.

1) Design and creation of a WebQuest about one theorist.

2) Present this in a 30 minute presentation to your peers.

3) Provision of a comprehensive handout to other students and lecturer.

What is a WebQuest?

A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesion format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the Web.

A real WebQuest…

• Requires higher level thinking, not simply summarizing. This includes synthesis, analysis, problem-solving, creativity and judgment.
  
  
• Makes good use of the web. (Of course, books and other media can be used within a WebQuest, but if the web isn't at the heart of the lesson. it's not a WebQuest)

Make sure you consider how you will present the WebQuest to the rest of the group. You may like to use the computer lab (speak to lecturer about a making a booking) and provide time for pre-service teachers to work through the WebQuest and include discussion time for key issues and learning. You may like to present your WebQuest using the interactive whiteboard and guide fellow pre-service teachers through the WebQuest. For this presentation you are encouraged to be creative and stimulating and actively engage your peers in learning.

You should proved a handout for distribution. The handout should summarize key aspects of the presentation and include any references (APA style referencing) used in the presentation. These references should also be listed in the WebQuest.

Student Contribution:

You will be expected to work in pairs to provide a 30 minute presentation of a WebQuest and A4 handout to all students and lecturer.

As this is a paired presentation you will be expected to complete a Declaration of Participation available on Blackboard and submit with a copy of a handout and WebQuest on CD/DVD or in digital format negotiated with the lecturer.

CRITERIA:

• Ability to provide a relevant and theoretical understanding of one theorist.
  
• To present theorist's background, ideas and theory in an organised, clear and literate way, incorporating the use of ICT.
• Clearly engage your peers' interest.
• Ability to present an understanding of contemporary issues surrounding the theorist.
• Provide a useful, comprehensive handout for other students and lecturer, outlining what was discussed during the WebQuest.
• Effective presentation and use of ICT.
