Efficiency Expert

WebQuest	Strengths	Weaknesses
Grow School Greens	Provides orderly bullets. It is easy to follow with an introduction, task, process, evaluation, and conclusion	A lot of text on the pages and probably could be explained in less text
Where is My Hero?	Steps thoroughly explained in completing the process.	Some of the pictures were unnecessary and could take focus away from the kids.
Underground Railroad	Good use of links and layout of the rolls to easily understand the information.	This page is a little lengthy and time consuming to read
Ice Cream	Good use of colors to grab attention. The process is explained very well.	Provides some unnecessary steps in completing the project.
Ancient Egypt	Short, sweet and to the point. Provides all of the information that kids need to complete this project.	A little bland, and doesn’t grab the attention of viewers

1. ch two of example WebQuests listed on the Elementary link are the best ones? Why?

I liked the Unraveling the Underground Railroad because it involved a bigger group and required research.

I also liked the Grow School Greens, it was a little lengthy, but I believe it is easily followed

 2. Which two are the worst? Why?

Ancient Egypt WebQuest because it was bland and wouldn't grab the students attention. The use of big words may be too much for 5th graders.

We all Scream for Ice Cream provided unnecessary steps and didn't provide the scientific knowledge that the kids should be learning during this experiment.

3. What do best and worst mean to you?
I believe the best provides the information to put together a great project. The kids wouldn't be too overwhelmed with too much information at one time. The worst would be not enough information or just irrelevant information.
