WebQuest: The students will conduct a WebQuest, which is an inquiry-based, on-line
learning activity. By providing links necessary to complete the quest, the students are able
to focus on the material rather than spending time looking for it. Each student will be
responsible for completing the assignment individually with 10 various search engines and
brief summaries (1-2 paragraphs) to accompany each one. Make sure to include
descriptive info about each site, such as the rationale for it, publication date, etc. It
should also include strengths and weaknesses of each of the 10 websites. Each website
should be a learning website and make sure you specify the intended grade level and
subject area. You will also need to include how you will implement this website into your
Language Arts lesson. Make sure you paraphrase instead of just copying and pasting
because I have enabled Vericite, which is a Canvas tool used to detect plagiarism. The tool
will scan your document and determine if any info has been copied and pasted and if so, it
will produce a report with the copied material highlighted and the percentage of material
copied. If that percentage is over 20% I will deduct a lot of points, anything over 30% will
receive a “0”. The key is to paraphrase! P.S. I will read over the report before I deduct
points because in some cases you might have to type some info as printed, such as the title,
publication date, author, etc. I will take this into consideration and grade accordingly.I have
attached an example of the format and info you should include with each one of your 10
websites below but YOU CANNOT USE THE WEBSITE PROVIDED IN THE EXAMPLE BELOW,
IF YOU DO, YOU WILL GET 10 POINTS DEDUCTED: (Each website is worth 10 pts; See point
allocation below)Learning website: https://web.seesaw.meLinks to an external site.
(1pt)Grade Level: 3rd-5th (1pt)Subject Area: Any subjects. (1pt)Founder: Carl Sjogreen,
Charles Lin, Adrian Graham (1pt)Publication Date: 2013 (1pt)Brief Summary:Seesaw is an
app for parents, children, and teachers where each student is given their own personal
journal to record and keep class documents of students. These personal journals help
students to see the results and progress of their work just as a portfolio would. When
students are able to view their work and its results, it motivates them to want to learn more.
If students were given an assignment to take notes or draw notes from a class lecture,
Seesaw would be the perfect app because it allows students to use their creativity to
document classroom activity. (1pt)Implementation:I would use this app to help students
monitor and keep a record of all their work and accomplishments. For example, if I had a
second-grade art class, each student would be able to review all art activities completed in
the class and show parents. The smiles and from both parents and students would just

2. make my day while also seeing the students eager and motivated to learn
more. (1pt)Rationale:Seesaw is an important tool to use within the classroom because it
allows freedom, individualism, and encourages creativity for students to share what they
have learned through technology. (1pt)Strengths:Students are eager to use the seesaw app
because it encourages creativity, drawing, videos, and allows students’ voices to be heard
through their artwork masterpieces.Parents are able to view their child’s work and see
student progress.This learning tool also makes it easy for teachers to monitor each
student’s progress and also saves time for the teacher. (1pt)Weaknesses:It can be time-
consuming setting each student an account especially if teachers have multiple classes.
