  1. Summer 1 Design II - Masters Course Project Description Rocky Shore Field Trip “Web Quest”

  2. Where I Started The plan was to… ”organize a web quest of sorts for the students to work through. …to remove the parts where I just “talk” at them and replace it with seeded queries that result in their learning the material almost by osmosis”.

  3. Lesson Plans… • Food Webs • Abiotic/biotic interrelationships • Intro to Classification • Identification of rocky shore organisms • Zonation of the rocky shore • Sampling techniques • Data collection – temperatures, density, salinity,volume, area

  4. The Problem… Too Aggressive a Goal !

  5. Where I Ended Up After a couple of weeks, and with a fair amount of panic as an incentive, I came to the conclusion that if any headway were to be made I was going to have to redefine the depth to which I was going to proceed. …to focus more on the preparation for the field trip itself. This was still in keeping with my earlier design in that the final result is a more user friendly document that was based in technology – namely a web page.

  6. Beliefs Regarding Technology Integration …technology is a necessary tool for education. “A poor carpenter blames his tools”. …Don’t be so quick to discard something simply because you haven’t dedicated enough time to understanding the hidden value.
