Glass Slippers Won’t Do at http://www.sitesbysheridan.com/webquest/index.htmlis a digital guided research project in which students (9th grade to adult) play virtual roles of historian, sociologist, fashion designer or media mogul to study how the attitudes of women have evolved between 1800 and the present. Students use the Internet to conduct their research, use web-based tools to compile relevant information, which is guided by focusing on stated “big” ideas/questions, and then construct their presentation with multimedia tools. The Webquest contains an imbedded rubric (above) so students know how they will be measured, but I don’t think that the rubric is as aligned as well as it could be with the Florida Sunshine State Standards for which this Webquest was designed. To me the rubric mostly measures playing nice and being accountable during a collaborative learning process and lacks focus on content knowledge, critical thinking, writing to communicate ideas, and analysis of various types of media, past and present.
