Essentially a Hotlist, the Multimedia Scrapbook focuses on providing links to a variety of media and content types such as photographs, maps, stories, facts, quotations, sound clips, videos and virtual reality tours. Students gather particular media scraps that they think are important or interesting and paste them into a presentation format. This may be a newsletter, collage, PowerPoint presentation, bulletin board, webpage or HyperStudio stack. A Treasure Hunt leads students to important information about a topic. Find web pages that hold information that is essential to understanding a topic.
Students answer a key question posed for each page.
When you want students to feel that the a subject really matters, design a Subject Sampler . Collect a small number of websites about a main topic. Ask students to justify their perspective on the topic. A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Choose a controversial topic and gather a range of websites.
