Title of Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity: Webquest
URL of Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity: Webquest.org
Describe how you would use the Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity in
your classroom: I would use this site as a formative assessment to check for understanding after
instruction has been taught.
What technologies would be required to implement this proposed learning activity in a
classroom? The students should have access to the internet and to a computer. The students will
have to know how to navigate the website, which I will demonstrate.
Describe how the following features are addressed in this learning experience (note: all of them
may not be addressed in the project, but most should be if you are reaching a high LoTi Level.):
a. Collaboration with peers, near-peers, mentors outside their classroom and often
beyond their school: The students will work in groups to create their website.
b. Student-centered learning and knowledge creation (collecting original data and or
producing original products as a result of engaging in the project): Creativity will
be encouraged and enforced while students are creating their website.
c. Higher-order thinking: Students will create a prediction and hypothesis based on
the experiment. In addition, the students will describe and explain what causes
heating and cooling.
d. Students publishing their original work to others who will use/care about their
product: Some of the students work will be post to the classroom blogs for others
to view.

What Level of Technology Implementation best describes this learning activity and Why? The
LoTi level 5 best describes this lesson because the students are creating something based off
what they have learned.
How could you implement this proposed learning experience and still comply with your districts
Internet Safety and Student Privacy policies? I would educate the students first to make sure
they are aware of internet safety. I will also monitor and check the students work to make sure it
is appropriate.
