**Outline**
In the webquest I have designed students will work collaboratively in groups of four over a nine week period. During this time students will develop a broad range of knowledge and skills in the learning areas English, Mathematics, The Arts and Technology and Enterprise. Students will follow the step by step instructions to complete weekly assessment tasks. By completing the weekly tasks students will be on their way to producing their own animated dream time stories. My goal is to engage the students in an active learning environment which caters for the students many multiple intelligences and promotes higher order thinking.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">

<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">This is a concept map listing all the ICT tools that will be used by the teacher and the student. I have chosen these tools because they are appropriate for the learners abilities and will assist the students complete the project. <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">1. Teacher will use the projector or interactive whiteboard to model and demonstrate how to access webquest, links and research. <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">2. Students will use computer and internet to access the web quest and complete the weekly tasks to eventually complete the project. <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">3. Students will use digital cameras, microphones and media software to create the visual and audio for the film. <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">4. Students will use DVD burning software to create the finished product. <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">5. Students will use and have regular access to the printer to print worksheets, poster and pamphlet. <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">6. Teacher will have used all the same tools to prepare and ensure it all works and is appropriate for students.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">**Social Constructivist Classroom**
<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;">Statement articulating how my ICT integration project is centered on social constructivist classroom: <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;">It was my goal to create a web quest that interested and motivated the students in the classroom. To achieve this goal I searched for a theme that was current, appealing and relative. On my journey I discovered the Pixar website and this is where my idea began. After, I began to brainstorm linking the idea to the curriculum and other documents relative to education. Then I developed the concept of creating an animated Dream Time story.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;">This web quest takes the students on a nine week journey and covers the learning areas English, Mathematics, The Arts, LOTE and Technology and Enterprise. This integrated approach enables the students to make connections between learning areas and develop a much broader range of skills and knowledge.Not only does this web quest integrate learning areas but it also promotes collaboration and cooperation amongst class members. These are necessary skills that will benefit the students inside and outside of school for life. Focusing on students outcomes is important because it's not about what we teach but what students will be able to do from a learning experience.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;">So how am I going to create a learning environment that will assist the students to achieve the outcomes above? I will teach in many ways catering for all the diverse learning styles. Outline of Gardner's Multiple Intelligences

<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;">Another method I will use is the Gradual Release Model of Responsibility:

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">This method of teaching scaffolds the students learning. Students are able to watch, then assist, then practice with help and finally do the skill on their own with the teacher watching. This can also involve students helping students which assists both students one having their learning reinforced and the other learning the skill. Knowing where a student's zone of proximal development is important and vital if they are to go to zone of actual development. Teacher's and students can actively be involved to assist this learning process.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;"> Students will go through the webquest learning journey investigating, problem solving, creating, planning, inquiring, discovering and being actively involved in their own learning. These methods assists students go from knowing basic facts (remembering and recalling) to having a deeper understanding. An example of this is in week 4 the students plan and create their own script. Rather than just showing the students a script and talk about it, this webquest actively involves the students so they learn about scripts their functions, formats and purposes it is these experiences that create a deeper understanding because the students can make connections and scripts now mean something to that student.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;">I believe this webquest allows students to learn through experiencing the world around them. This webquest encourages students to learn for themselves. The students need to complete the weekly tasks individually and in their group. The teacher provides the lessons to scaffold, model and demonstrate but in the end the students are responsible for producing their own animated film using technology and their creativity and skills. This is why I believe the classroom I plan to create will complement the social constructivist theory.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">I have incorporated 4 lesson plans. I plan to explicitly model and demonstrate the skills involved to complete the task that is due on the Friday of that particular week. If you go into the teacher's tool page I have included a weekly planner for each week highlighting the topic for each lesson.
