In this practicum course, we were asked to design an action plan for a classroom to help implement technology. I worked with a peer mentor who allowed me access to her classroom to implement two web quests since I do not currently have a classroom of my own. My peer mentor teaches family and consumer science classes at a local high school. I designed a personality styles web quest for her teen choices class. The link to this web quest and a hard copy version on Excel can be viewed below. Additionally, I designed a write your own children's book web quest for her child development class. Again the link to this web quest and a hard copy on Word can be viewed below. I used two of the NETS/ISTE standards for these assignments. The two standards focused on facilitating and inspiring student learning and creativity and designing and developing digital-age learning experiences. I was able to meet both of these standards with my two web quests. The other attachments that are found below are the action plan, reflection assignments, the logs for the action plan, and evaluations from my peer mentor.
