Description- A WebQuest is a tool used by tech savvy teachers, as well as, tech savvy students. Its purpose is to incorporate the computer and the world wide web into a project that helps participants learn something about a particular subject. A WebQuest is not just a lesson in disguise but should take participants on a journey that makes them work at a higher level of learning.
Objective- Our objective at Santa Rosa Academy is to have Mac Lab students make a WebQuest, so that they can distribute information at a higher level of learning, and also, think at a higher level themselves.

What is a WebQuest October 1, 2010
What is a WebQuest?
A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. The model was developed by Bernie Dodge at San Diego State University in February, 1995 with early input from SDSU/Pacific Bell Fellow Tom March, the Educational Technology staff at San Diego Unified School District, and waves of participants each summer at the Teach the Teachers Consortium.Since those beginning days, tens of thousands of teachers have embraced WebQuests as a way to make good use of the internet while engaging their students in the kinds of thinking that the 21st century requires. The model has spread around the world, with special enthusiasm in Brazil, Spain, China, Australia and Holland.

WIKI ME SOMETHING DELICIOUS PROJECT DUE SEPT. 10
Wiki Me Something Delicious
Project Description: We are going to make a Wiki using Wikispaces.com. We are also going to cite where we got our information by using the Social Bookmarking site called Delicious.com. Topic is of your choice, but the purpose of this project is to learn how to cite, research, and display information on the internet.
What is a Wiki? A Wiki is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor. In other words, it is a easy to make web page for users of the internet. It also allows more than one internet user to edit the page at once, making a Wiki a collaborative tool for creating web based media.
Why would we use a Wiki? Well for starters, a lot of us are familiar with Wikipedia. Most of us are familiar with this site because a lot of us go there for answers about random questions and etc. Wikipedia, however, is a site not developed by professional web designers, but more accurately, a site designed by internet users who are really interested in a particular topic and are able to share a little bit of their knowledge by adding to the Wiki.
How can we be sure the information on a Wiki is correct? The simple answer is we cannot, but for the most part the information is because many people edit Wiki pages at a time and users constantly check recently added material’s accuracy, fixing misinformation.
