Module 5 Tech Assignment Folder

Module 5 Tech Assignment (75 points): Media Creation: Podcast, Video, Ppt, Web (Due End o

Module 5 Tech Assignment: Option 4 Web (75 points, Due end of Week 5)
Choose and complete one (1) of the four technology artifact options in
this folder. Choose an option different from the one selected for the Module 4 Tech
Assignment. You must create something new, and not simply submit

something you had already created prior to this course. Be sure


to check the rubric for each of the options for details on how each artifact
option will be graded.

Option 4. Web Site:

Create a web site that functions like a WebQuest


site that you would be able to use in your classroom.
(See http://webquest.org or to read about webquests.
See http://questgarden.com/index.php to search for sample web quests. An
example from that site
is http://questgarden.com/116/84/8/110103154947/index.htm for an example.)
Your webquest web site should have the following minimal
characteristics:

Content appropriate for classroom use (explain in text comment box in BB if


not completely obvious)
At least seven (7) fully functional pages linked together
At least four (4) working hyperlinks to external web sites.
At one picture on each page
A navigation bar on each page
Clear text guiding the user on most pages

The actual content of the pages does not need to be complete (for
example, you don't need to have a fully completed rubric page, or a
fully completed background information page), but the web site should
be fully functional with all links working properly.
Submit either a URL (web address) of your posted web site or a zipped
archive with all of your working web pages.
