Technofied Lesson
Revision
Process Review
To begin
the revision process I started by reviewing my original webquest submission
titled “One Bug, Two Bugs, Three Bugs, Score!”.
I decided upon the components that would be included in a non-technofied
version of the lesson to create the first part of the assignment.
The non-technofied version did not include:
-The webquest formatting
-The use of the class blog
-The use of a video camera/recording component
-The questionnaire online
I then shifted my focus back to the technofied lesson,
creating a plan for myself in regards to the revision process.
I began by working on the visual aspects of the lesson as a
whole. I added graphics, incorporated a
template for the design of the body, and re-worked the fonts and colors within
the body of the lesson.
The next step involved addressing the issues I noticed from
the check-point prompts.
For this step I;
-Completely revised my evaluation rubric within the
assignment
-Added more details to each process step
-I researched sites for students to visit while researching
their insects and updated the TASK portion of the webquest.
-I created a guide/example for the questionnaire segment
within the lesson.
The majority of my lesson revisions involved working
backwards which was a new experience. If
I had more time to work on this I would have liked to incorporate google doc’s
for the student’s to use as their questionnaire tool rather than word. I would also have created a fully developed
and written out original lesson plan.
The challenge for me with this assignment involved time
management more than anything else. As I
mentioned earlier, I appreciate the guidance quest garden provided while
creating my webquest. The
prompts/questions that were asked throughout the creation of the webquest
lesson were immensely helpful to me. The
process allowed to me to not become complacent and keep the focus of the lesson
(objectives, depth and quality).
I plan to explore the different formats and templates
available through quest garden over the next few weeks. There are many options to guide the
development of the lesson.
