Submissions

institution, private or public.

possible, as a page or a series of
html pages zipped together that
could be placed on the SPEAQ-quest
site directly.
3)
must include
the SPEAQ-quest formatted as it would
be presented to the students as

that in at least one page explains
the related information set out in
the
submission form.
(competencies, strategies, language
focus, etc.)
4)

include the essential elements
of a SPEAQ-quest as explained.

those submissions that best address
the levels and abilities of the
targeted students as well as the right to reject a
submission based on missing
criteria.
__________________________________________________________
There
is a variety of formats
for activities that lead up to
or initiate SPEAQ-quests but
fail to solicit the critical
thinking and manipulation of
knowledge that produces a new
product - an original or
unique student product or
viewpoint.
Note the distinctions
made in this explanation are
adapted from
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/formats.html
and
include the following hierarchy of
Web-related activities:
6.1
Hot list:
a list of internet
sites (on a subject
or theme).
6.2
Multimedia Scrapbook:
students explore a
(suggested)
collection of
multimedia links
(photographs, maps,
stories, facts,
quotations, sound
clips, videos...),
decide which
resources they
prefer, and create
something new.
(guided exploration
is essential)
6.3
Treasure Hunt:
like a hot list; but
includes questions
based on content
from
(suggested)
sites
.
6.4
Subject Sampler:
learners explore a
collection of
(suggested)
multimedia links,
includes questions
based on content
from the sites AND
how they feel or
react to it; more
complex than a
treasure hunt.
6.5
A
WebQuest:
(SPEAQ-quest)
uses the
sites
you
select
as the
starting
point
for a
complex
activity
that
involves
multiple
perspectives,
possible
group
collaboration,
and a
final
project
of your
choosing.
