[|WebQuest Evaluation]

The overall aesthetics are not that engaging or compelling. The background is too dark and the clip art is somewhat basic. However, on the up side it is clear and easy to read. The introduction clearly setsforth the goal of the webquest. There is a typo in the first line of the introduction. A oversight in the introduction, and in many introductions I have seen in reviewing webquests, is that it does not state who for whom the webquest is being designed. Specifically, who is the audience? The task page is too brief, although the author clearly sets forth the goal of the assignment. The process page is well done. She has a three step process that involves visiting an on-line site that has a power point on an anti-bullying program and writing a a half page reflection on the power point. Unfortunantely, I could not access the power point because I did not have a user id and this limits the accessiblity of this webquest to people beyond this teachers' classroom. The second step of the process is informational and involves the students going to many links on bullying and gathering information. The last step in the process akses the students to write a one page reflection on what they have learned and than create a story, poes, poster or speech on bullying. The evaluation rubric was based on categories of beginning, developing, qualified and exemplary. On the creative project she did not have a description for two categories in the rubric which is confusing. Lastly, there was not specific page for resources, which I think was an oversight. Overall I think this webquest was average in its presentation. According to our rubric for evaluating webquests, I would rate this one overall as "developing"; it needs more work.
