Brooke+Walsh+Pennsylvania+Indians+WebQuest

OR DEPENDS ON YOUR OFFICE

This is a WebQuest posted on my Moodle Page (It will be available next fall for students studying the unit.) Because students are constantly on my Moodle page, I didn't want to make it available, and furthermore, the Moodle site is only available to students with passwords. Essentially, the WebQuest is available to you here on our wiki so you mustn't jump through hoops to find it.

Please advise on how to make better. I have labeled it my final and complete, however everything has room for improvement and suggestions.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Wow, Brooke! Everything is well planned and thought out. I'm sure you are anxious for next fall, so you can implement it. I bet you will have great results! Kerri

Brooke: Great job. I wanted to try a webquest, but I did not even know where to start. It looks as if you can build it virtually anywhere, a website, in a PPT, or possibly even on a wiki site. I learned several things from viewing your sources, as I had no idea who the Paxton Boys were. I think it is great that students work together to complete the webquest, as they can sometimes be overwhelming. I was wondering how long you thought the activity might take? Nice job and nice working with you during this course. Take care.

Brooke, awesome webquest! What I loved best is that you have the students reporting as different people from that time period. Your webquest was easy to navigate and certainly allowed for a lot of exploration on your students' parts. What a great way for the students to research the indians, particularly the ones in your local area. I would have loved to be in your class when I was young. :) (Susan F)

Brooke,

I really enjoyed your webquest. You really make me want to try one. It seems like alot of time and effort was put into this project. Allowing your students to view the incident from different perspectives was really informative and insightful. Your students will be very involved and active as they work through your webquest. You have made a subject that they have heard about constantly, new, exciting and challenging. Good job. (Pat Cassner)

Brooke - This is AWESOME!!! I am so impressed with the WebQuest you created. You definitely have all of the aspects required for a WebQuest and will definitely challenge students to use critical thinking skills to complete this project. You have a wealth of primary sources to help students complete the project and learn a ton about Pennsylvania Indians. It is clear that you worked very hard on this project and have met and exceeded the requirements. I think it's just great!!! Christy

Thanks for the email and ideas re: Webquests Brooke, you are clearly a pro! Your product looks so enjoyable for students. I bet they will love the interaction aspect! I see this project as challenging your students, and enriching both their skills and knowledge-KUDOS! sue nelson

Brooke, Your webquest is incredible. I am always amazed at the efforts that must be put into creating these. You have so much valuable information for the students and to evaluate. There is no doubt that you have incorporated your own and students' critical thinking skills! (Jen)
