====Poster Yourself! You first heard these words in EDU 3110. For this class we will use Glogster to create a WebQuest. A WebQuest is a structured lesson where students use information from Internet Websites in Cooperative Groups to complete a "Quest" with the creation of a creative product and presentation. ====

The WebQuest is an assignment that crosses into your methods' course, should adhere to the following guidelines.

 * ====Be geared to science and/or math in the grade you want to teach. ====
 * ====Comprise a complete lesson where students work in Cooperative Groups to complete the "Quest." ====
 * ====Tie multiple Glogs together to form the WebQuest. ====
 * ====Link to at least five different resources (websites, videos, etc). The resources cannot be two different pages of the same site and the links must go directly to the information needed by the students so they do not spend time "surfing." ====
 * ====Be engaging and fun! ====
 * ====Use proper grammar and punctuation (do we really even have to say this :-)). ====
