In this activity, you will begin creating your own WebQuest using the WebQuest Wizard provided in the course. During Week 1, you will focus on developing the Description and Introduction sections of your WebQuest.
The goal is to introduce your WebQuest topic, identify your intended student audience, and create an engaging introduction that motivates students to explore the topic.
Instructions
1. Open the WebQuest Wizard: Access the WebQuest Wizard activity in the Moodle course and begin developing your WebQuest.
2. Complete the Description: Provide a clear description of your WebQuest, including its topic, intended student audience, and learning goals.
3. Develop the Introduction: Write an engaging introduction that captures your students' interest, introduces the topic, and encourages curiosity and exploration. Think about how you can make the learning experience meaningful and relevant to your students.
4. Record a Walkthrough Video: Create a short screen recording in which you:
- Show the Description and Introduction sections you developed using the WebQuest Wizard.
- Explain why you selected your topic and intended student audience.
- Walk viewers through your introduction and explain how it will motivate students.
- Share your experience using the WebQuest Wizard, including any challenges, discoveries, or ideas for improvement.
- Create your video tour using ScreenPal or Colossyan.
- Upload the video file to Google drive (unrestrict view) or YouTube (unlisted or public view) and share the link.
- Download the MP4 to your computer.
- Upload the MP4 file to YouTube, make it public or unlisted or to Google drive and go into share, and make it public
- Paste the link of your YouTube video or Google drive. The Google drive link of the video will be responsive because I added a script in the additional html.

5. Share Your Video: Post your walkthrough video in the Week 1 discussion forum. Include a brief reflection on your experience creating these first sections of your WebQuest.
Peer Learning
Watch at least one other participant's walkthrough video and provide constructive feedback. You may share something you appreciated, ask a question, or suggest an idea that could make the WebQuest introduction even more engaging.
Remember: You are developing your WebQuest as a teacher for your own students. This week focuses on the Description and Introduction. You will continue developing the remaining sections of your WebQuest as you progress through the course.
