Now we'll try to develop your own skills for reviewing and selecting WebQuests. We'll use the Rubric for Evaluating WebQuests to help you make judgements. You'll want to judge each of the elements but also include a Total score and some comments. Sometimes you'll find that your total is much higher than what you really think about the WebQuest. If that's the case, go back and see where you were too generous. Remember even if the WebQuest is gorgeous, if it doesn't help teach what it claimed to it's not good enough. Use this blank worksheet.

Find a sample WebQuest from the Matrix of WebQuests that you would recommend to your colleagues. Find one that meets curriculum goals for your classes and would help your students meet the standards. Also consider how "doable" the WebQuest would be in your classroom. You'll be reporting back to the group so be critical!
