Why use web resources for learning?
• The Internet is an easy way to build technology into your instruction
• Provides a refreshing way for students to look at subject material, and promotes student ownership.
• The web provides easy access to primary sources • Uses multimedia to tap multiple senses and
learning styles• Gives access to up-to-date information to keep up
with current events and a changing world

Disadvantages
• Not an instructional panacea
• Not a substitute for face-to-face instruction
• Depends on access to a working internet connection
• Online resource links may frequently need to be updated
• Literacy of students – locating material appropriate for student’s level
• Can be time consuming to create

Ways to integrate technology with instruction…
• Take ordinary lesson materials
• Make web resources part of the lesson
• Use technology in your teaching
• Make technology part of activity/assignment
• Require students to use technology as they work with information and create artifacts

WebQuest or Scavenger Hunt
?What’s the difference
![Page 7: Web Resources for Learning](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051418/56815196550346895dbfce38/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Both use excellent sites focused on the topic
• Both make more efficient use of student time
• Key: Teacher reviews and selects sites ahead of time
![Page 8: Web Resources for Learning](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051418/56815196550346895dbfce38/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Start with lesson plans/units you have
already created
NO NEED TO REINVENT THE WHEEL!

Types of Scavenger Hunts
• Teacher asks questions and gives links necessary for student to answer the questions
OR • Teacher asks questions and the student
finds links using a search engine to answer the questions.

How to create a Scavenger Hunt
• Pick the topic• Locate websites to
support the topic• Create the questions
to be answered• (Create a key)
• Save the Scavenger Hunt as a website, or give it to students on paper
• Check links ahead of class to make sure they are still accurate

What are Web Quests
?
![Page 12: Web Resources for Learning](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051418/56815196550346895dbfce38/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Web Quests are…
• Inquiry-oriented activities that require students to get the majority of their resources from the web
• They were first developed by Bernie Dodge, 1995 at San Diego State University
![Page 13: Web Resources for Learning](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051418/56815196550346895dbfce38/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
WebQuests
• Have a clearly defined structure• Are a little more involved to create than a
Scavenger Hunt – and may require more time for students to complete
• It’s a good idea to create a few Scavenger Hunts and develop some supporting activities prior to creating a Web Quest
