WebQuest


 * WebQuest Assignment **
 * Build Your Perfect Vehicle​ **

This WebQuest assignment was to develop a webquest in which we could use in our classroom with our students. My particular field is Automotive Technology and it didn't seem there were a lot of other already developed webquest to make sample from. I did however choose for my Automotive Technology III class to act as though they were going to be building the perfect automobile. They were each assigned a system or component to research and had to complete at least a half of a page paper to use during a debate with their counterpart as to why the system or component that they had researched was the best fit for this particular vehicle. As you can see with the picture of the vehicle above, there are just so many different parts of the vehicle to look at and understand that it takes a lot just to develop one particular part, component, or system.

I chose this particular topic based on the need to give my students a task to research. I think this may help them understand the overall design of future automobiles as well as if they are looking to restore a vehicle just for fun. It will give them options on what kind of equipment that they may want to include in their car.

 * Reflection: ** This was not my best overall assignment. I took a week off due to family issues that were beyond my control and just could not get back in the full motivation mode to complete exactly what I was looking to achieve. I plan and will however keep working on this webquest to update it as needed and use it for my classes in the future. I have also found another webquest after I started the one I am completing now that deals with brake system repair. I think it is a little simpler to start with and maybe if I had found this first I would not have made such a big jump into the webquest trial of not getting out of it exactly what I wanted. I did like how easy it was to develop; I just need to concentrate on this particular project instead of more than one topic at a time.
