Below is a link to my WebQuest:
Christmas Around the World
Implementation:
This WebQuest will be completed by using computers, books, and in class activities.
Setting:
The first part of the WebQuest will be completed during the time we have in the computer lab. Since we are limited on time in the computer lab it will pobably take a week to get through the first portion on the WebQuest.
The second part will be done in the library. Each group will research their country, using books from the library. The majority of the information needed will be able to be found using computers, so the portion done in the library could be completed in one day.
The final part of this WebQuest will be done in class. Each student will be required to create a presentation of the information they have found. They can be creative with their presentations. They can make posters, do a PowerPoint presentation, a report, or any other approved ideas they come up with.

AI Project-- Accountability Component and Implementation
4th Grade Spelling
Accountability Compnent
To assess each students work I will require them to write and spell correctly, each word from the activites completed in the ai project. For their final project they will be making a comic strip on the computer, using the words from the activities previously completed.
They will be required to turn in the list of words from each activity along with their comic strip. This will allow me to tell what words they need to work on and what words they know well. Along with knowing how to spell the words the comic strip will show me whether they know how to use the words in context or not.
Implementation
This assignment is ment to be completed over a couple of days. I want them to do it during school (computer lab), so if there are any questions I will be there to answer them. It schould take two days to finish this project. The first day they will be able to complete the first two activities, where they will get a list of words they can choose from to create their final project (a comic strip). We will spend the second day creating a comic strip on the computer, using their choice of six words from the previous activites. If I notice some students are struggling with certain things I will be able to help them by planning activites specifc to the area which they are struggling.

Efficiently Searching the Interent
I found this article very interesting. It gave me a lot of good ideas on how to search the internet more efficiently. I often just type in one word when searching, which brings up many results. To narrow the number of results I get I will be more specific. I will type in a phrase rather than just one word. I will use the EXACT PHRASE field to narrow the search, so it will bring up items with that exact phrase. I will also trim the URL. Like it said in the article you will often find folders that are inside a fold, inside and folder, and so on. Triming the URL will help you find the original source.
