ITS-Got it! Good.

So now I’m convinced. All you need to do to create a valuable lesson plan is a “tight” rubric that assesses your objectives and a webquest. I use to think, “oh, webquest…they are so long and detailed.” I thought this until I recently read the first article by Bernie Dodge on webquests. I’d never read this article before and I even took an online class about creating webquests.
Dodge defines two different webquests with two instructional goals: a short webquest is for knowledge acquisition and integration; whereas, a long webquest extends and refines knowledge. The supporting resource is Marzano’s Dimension in Thinking Model, which I haven’t read either. Short webquests being Dimension 2 and long webquests are dimension 3.
