Webquest Workshop at Carter G. Woodson

The Webquest Workshop at Carter G. Woodson provided the students with some of the information that they needed to engage in this new type of lesson plan. An actual engagement in the process of creating a webquest in the workshop would have been more effective for the students would be inclined to remember(Dale's Cone of Memory)the process better and incoporate it into deep learning (Bernie Dodge, the creator of the webquest has already provided these lessons for educators). Handouts would have also allowed the students to have a tangible reference source that they will need since we will not see them for another month. I think that we have to remember that student engagement is the key. We have to involve as many learning dimensions (Marzano) as possible in the process of instruction. The lecture approach can easily be modified. The homework assignment that was geared to discipline and student level was appropriate.
