9. Introduction (teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This Webquest was created by Cody Brunton for Educ331 with several purposes. First of all it was a learning tool for myself to become acclimated with the actual idea of a Webquest. This is a very helpful tool for students to learn and is a great way to incorporate technology into the classroom. I also designed it with the purpose of it being an introduction to an actual Russian literature course or even just a section about Russian literature in a normal English course.

14. Evaluation (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page The first and most obvious way to decide if the students have learned the material to the necessary extent will be to evaluate the material that the students turn in. Did they get all the necessary material that was asked? Does it seem like they have the type of information on their projects that leads you to believe they actually understood something beyond the surface of these characters or did they seem to just cut and paste plain boring facts into the projects? If you are unsure if they got the information that you desired they learn through the experience, give them a short, low pointed quiz with easy basic facts they should have picked up on through the research.
