Educational discoveries

Whilst creating a WebQuest with my assinment partner, Bridie More, we found the most important part of the quest was the development of a rich task to be completed by the user. The Taskonomy page written by B, Dodge was invaluable in developing this task. Reading throungh the many varied possibilities of webquest tasks helped us to pinpoint the more constructivist task which we wanted to develop and how best to achieve it. We focused mainly onthe development of a ‘design taks’ where the user has to create a collaborative learning website based on the research they complete through the WebQuest. There was an aspect of ‘persuasion task’ involved in the WebQuest due to the development of a website proposal, where the team must justify the aspects of their website based on research and their own educational backgrounds. Take a look at our ‘Discover With Me’ WebQuest to see how we ended up devleoping and presenting those tasks.
