Standards requires an adult or older peer to drive things.
Process Use this page to create a script for that facilitator. The facilitator would print this
page out and use it to guide their progress through the WebQuest.
Resources
This page will include step by step directions to the facilitator, including:
Evaluation
•What to say at each point in the process
Teacher Script •What to click on
•What questions and misconceptions to anticipate
Conclusion •How long to take at each point
•When to direct learners to work away from the computer
To help the facilitator, you might want to include screen dumps of particular screens
embedded with the directions of what to do at that point.
