Comments:
Instructions are lengthy. I realize it is a one week project and middle school students can
probably handle all the directions. There is a lot of content.

2. Lesson is easy to navigate and links are accurate and working.

Overall Comments and Suggestions:

This was an excellent design for middle school math students, and allows them creativity and
learning. I like the way you utilized the Quizlet program to create flashcards for math
vocabulary that needed to be used when they explained their solutions in a presentation. The
worksheets were not visible or attached to the webquest, so I imagine they were handed out in
class. Allowing for student choice for the presentation being either typed in a Prezi or narrated
with pictures in a Voicethread was a good way to allow students to perform in their comfort
zone. The list of specific steps, such as Part 1, Part 2, etc. were clear and were like a check-off
list for student completion. The evaluation page was also clear and understandable about what
was expected of students. I especially liked the link to other games that would give further
practice to the one step equations for multiplication and division. Overall, your zunal webquest
was done very well, and I can see the students having success as they navigate through it.
