Additionally, students unfamiliar with navigating the Internet and working between software programs may need tutorials. To assist in this process, you may wish to visit Spartanburg District 3's Integrating Technology page to download a Handbook and Technical Manual for Teachers. Depending on the size of the class, and access to computers, this WebQuest could take between 3-6 weeks. Because it is unlikely all students will have Internet access at the same time, the teacher will need to involve students, who are not at the computer, with tasks related to the WebQuest. During the arbitration portion of the WebQuest, the teacher should assume the role as arbiter.
Debates can become a bit rowdy, so set the ground rules early.
If you do not feel comfortable having students set the debate rules, develop your own rules and make sure the students are well aware of them. You may wish to alter certain steps in the Process section. For example, the final resolutions may be presented with PowerPoint, but web pages or posters would also do well.
