Evaluating My GAME Plan

I am very sorry for getting to this blog so late in the week. I have been packing and moving all week and weekend on top of everything else that goes with our busy teacher lives. Anyway as far as my GAME plan goes I have created a handout that will guide my students through The Outsiders WebQuest. The handout is designed to allow them to browse through the site independently that way I can facilitate. I still need to create a modified version for my ELA and Special Ed. students. I also need to create a rubric, which I know is something I should have created first. However, the rubric was in mind while I created the handout. I have yet to figure out how much time needs to be allotted for this project. Therefore I will sit down this week and do the assignment myself, this will also allow me to make any changes necessary to the assignment if need be. I have decided to take 30 minutes of classroom time to go over the handout and rubric with my students and also model for them on my computer and projector how to find the site and show them how to navigate through the site. Once we have done that I will have some practice skills for them to work on before actually heading down to the computer lab, I know this may take longer if there are lots of questions, but I do not anticipate too many questions because of my instructions. I am also still working on what would be the best way to evaluate their experience of what they learned. I will ask my colleagues what they think would be a good idea for self-reflection. I will also ask them of any WebQuests they have used in the past and how did they use them for ideas.
