Reflection

This was my first attempt at creating a webquest and I was really impressed with how

effectively it could be used. After viewing your example, I realized that I too could create

effective webquests for my students to use and learn. This webquest was made for a 10th Grade

target audience. At the beginning of each semester, I would post this in Google Classroom and

have my students complete the assignment individually. My students have no prior training in

digital citizenship for Google Classroom and they definitely need it if we are going to participate

in virtual learning. I would make a copy of the assignment for each student and they each would

submit their individual work. The objectives of the webquest are to teach my students what

digital citizenship is, to get them to understand the dangers of poor digital citizenship, and to

offer them helpful tips for safely participating in online instruction. The webquest is appropriate

for my target audience and I think it would take my students the full 20 minutes, maybe a few
minutes longer to answer each question fully. It is engaging, but I would like to use an online

quiz builder and link a quiz in the assignment. I think adding a short quiz to the end of the

webquest would allow me to assess what they have learned. My webquest could be longer and

have more detail, but this is my first attempt and I didn’t want to get too far ahead of myself. I

would like to learn how to make my links appear as text in my questions instead of having a long

link in each question.
