One way to use technology in the elementary classroom is through a Web Quest. A webquest is created by the teacher which incorporates links through the web. In a webquest, there is usually a problem to solve and a project or task to complete. Internet sources are used however the teacher deems appropriate. Essentially, it is like a website with different pages such as the directions, task to be completed, step by step instructions, links, and a problem to be solved. Sometimes there is a story line involved to make it more interesting. Here is a link to hundreds of successful webquests created by teachers — webquest.org. This website provides a search engine for webquests submitted by teachers according to subject area and grade level. In addition to this website, i found an article online with some information about what webquests are and how to create one. I hope that this post can provide future teachers with some creative ways to incorporate technology in the classroom =)
