Outline • Administrivia • Feedback on Reading Response #1 Discussion • Instructional Design Basics • Introduction to WebQuests • For next week
Administrivia • Most significant: • keeping the class up-to-date • going over the ins-and-outs of the position paper • Turnitin program • online conferencing • Other comments: • Hard to keep on top of workload when we meet only once a week (suggestion: WebCT, syllabus & “Next Week” Slide) • Reading responses: • take a lot of time and work for 5%/a little overwhelming (any hints to deal with this to be more efficient?) • valued for thinking about issues • Suggestion: time to converse in the chat room together
Suggestions • Use “reply with quotes” sparingly • i.e. respond to a specific idea. • Active and regular participation with peers • Encouragement, support, challenging their ideas, and sharing resources. • Use the questions on the website to provide a basis for your thinking • to build upon rather a final answer. • Spend less time reiterating what is in the readings • Instead, develop your own insight into an issue and use resources to support your views or support/refute those of others. • Progress with the discussion • points may have already been covered and the class may have moved on.
Instructional design • Definition • A set of systematic procedures for developing teaching materials and setting up learning environments • Links theory with practice in designing effective instruction • Example: a cookbook • There are numerous instructional design models
Instructional Design Models • Simplest model: ADDIE

Why WebQuests? • Originated with Dr. Bernie Dodge in 1995. • Based on the concern that K-12 students spent far too much time searching the web, and not enough time thinking about, or thinking with, what they find. • “WebQuest” • specific kind of web page • usually built by a teacher • design focuses on helping students use particular web-based (or other) materials as resources • for problem-solving • Enormously popular!
