The ProcessThe Process

The Process• To accomplish the task, what steps

should the learners go through?...– Learners will access the on-line resources

that you've identified as they go through the Process....

– you might also provide some guidance on how to organize the information gathered

• Done by scaffolding: provides help at specific points in the learning process

Why Scaffold?• It allows learners to complete a

challenging task which they would not be able to accomplish without help

• Because you can’t be everywhere at once, so it’s useful to capture some of the help you’d give and make it available for just-in-time learning.

How Do We Scaffold?• By

– Providing outlines, guides and templates

– Guiding thinking through visual and other means

Key attributes of good scaffolding

• Available for Just-in-time learning• Skippable by those who don’t need it• Blends content and structure an appro

priate degree• Fades as students become more adept

Scaffolding the model• Full model

– Introduction (title/topic)– Task– Process (information sources)– Evaluation– Conclusion

Transformation Scaffolds

• Prompted writing templates• Multimedia templates

Production Scaffolds

Scaffolding Your Own WebQuest

• For every Input, ask yourself…– Do all of my students know how to make

sense of this source of information?

• For every Transformation, ask ..– Do all of my students know how to

manipulate information in this way?

• For every Output, ask…– Do all of my students know how to produce

information in this format?

Scaffolding the Process• Process section

– Teachers explain to the students exactly what they are supposed to do

– Teachers direct them to specific resources – Other help files, graphic organizers,

templates, and other forms of scaffolding

How much guidance shall we give to our students (in a project)?

Scalfolding Heuristics versus Procedures

• Heuristic– involving or serving as

an aid to learning, discovery, or problem-solving by experimental and especially trial-and-error methods

– relating to exploratory problem-solving techniques that utilize self-educating techniques (as the evaluation of feedback) to improve performance

• Procedure– 1 a : a particular way of

accomplishing something or of acting b : a step in a procedure

– 2 a : a series of steps followed in a regular definite order <legal procedure> <a surgical procedure>

FOCUS:Five Rules for Writing a Great WebQuest• Find great sites – master a search engine;

keep record of good sites• Orchestrate learners and resources

– Ensure trouble-free group work by creating a cooperative learning environment

• Challenge learners to think– A WebQuest is not the vehicle for mastering a list

of U.S. presidents and their terms of office.– Take your learners to task like design, persuasion

amid controversy

Dodge, B. (2001). FOCUS: Five Rules for Writing a Great WebQuest. Learning & Leading with Technology, 28(8).

FOCUS:Five Rules for Writing a Great WebQuest• Use the Medium

– Access to multimedia resources such as video or audio

– Take advantage of the unique features the Internet contains

• Scaffold high expectations– Make it easy for students to succeed by providing

guides that help them acquire, transform, and present knowledge.

– Types of scaffolding include: Reception, Transformation and Production
