Peer Reviews for WebQuests

**If you had trouble accessing the student template -- get it here.

For Tuesday - start saving electronic copies of photos to your key drive - you'll need at least 3 or 4 for your web-based portfolio.

Want to see a first grade powerpoint project? Here's my niece's project on Frogs (she did have some help from her mom on the clip art).

Technical stuff:

If you have created other Word documents that you would like to link to your webquest page -- do the following:
1. Save the document as a web page in your portfolio folder
2. Open your webquest page
3. Highlight the text on your webquest page that you want to serve as the link to your new document
4. Go to File>Insert Hyperlink
5. In the window that opens up - select the "Document" tab
6. Click the "Select" button and browse for your document.

Peer Review:
Now is the time to take a few minutes to provide feedback on a classmate's webquest. This is not the time to say "It looks great!" or "I can't think of anything I'd change". Your task is to give specific feedback that will assist your classmate in improving his or her webquest.

Working with a partner, take 5 minutes to share the basic ideas behind your webquests. Open this feedback document and type your responses. (Remember, you'll have to right-click on the link and choose save as.) Make sure that you are giving more than yes or no responses. When you have completed your feedback, email a copy of your responses to your partner and save another copy in the dropbox - save the file as: firstinitial_lastname.doc

After you have completed the peer review, continue working on your project. Make sure to review the project description and to incorporate some of the suggestions from the peer feedback section. You may also want to use these two checklists to improve your webquest even more:

Fine Points - Little Things Make a Big Difference
Process Checklist

Remember that your final WebQuest is not due until Thursday, November 17. You will submit your final project electronically to the dropbox.

11:00 Class - Here is the text of the survey some of you will complete for the dissertation study. It will be a paper-based survey.
