Final Project Reflection

This post is a reflection for my final project for m Tie-542 class at National Louis University. For my final project I created a WebQuest meant to be used for 8th or 9th grade students. The WebQuest task was for two students to work together on a project called "Sign the Next Amazing Band". In this project students learn that they have just received a new position in a record company and there job is to search out new and young talent and pick a new band to pitch to the president of the company. The students will gather all the information they can about their group and develop either a Power Point or Keynote presentation that will persuade their boss (the teacher) and the company employees (the class) that their band is the next big thing.
Although I found this project difficult at first, I started to get into it and really enjoyed creating it. In fact I feel like this WebQuest would go over very well with my kids and plan on implementing it, and sharing it with the other teachers at my school. The most difficult part of the project was the actual set-up time that was necessary in Dreamweaver. Finding the right resources and all of that wasn't that difficult. After looking at some other WebQuest online as well as some of my classmates I feel that there are a couple of things I could do better. The first thing that I feel might make it a little more appeasing to the eye is if I would have added a few graphics when appropriate. I also think after reading it over a couple times that I could of laid it out a little bit better so that it would have read a little more smoothly. I do feel though that for my first WebQuest it wasn't that bad. I look forward to creating some more. Hope you enjoy!
