Ok, so this meeting was a little more productive because we actually had a room and computer to work with! However we only had access to one computer between the four of us so we weren’t able to work individually on anything and if we needed to show the others something is was a bit annoying and time consuming because we kept having to log off/log on and re-open everything again. Anyway, we had each managed to do a bit of research throughout the week and we spent most of the session running through all the different resources we found and picking out the ones we thought we be most useful for our project. Finding a suitable blogger proved the most difficult and we’re still on the hunt for something. Also we found many of the resources used the ‘healthy food pyramid’ which is actually part of the old recommendations and has now been replaced with the ‘healthy dinner plate’. So finding resources with the most recent information and government recommendations was also a challenge.
We also discussed how we were going to create the different ‘roles’ for students which are characteristic of a Web Quest. We found that if we split the task using the same kind of roles as other Web Quests (researcher, writer, designer etc) we’d have very unequal workloads. Instead, Luke came up with the great idea that each different group member is allocated a different family member and must research and create a lifestyle plan specific to that individuals needs. This splits the workload evenly and easily!
Next meeting we aim to each present some of what we have been working on (or should have been working onJ). For me this will include the intro for the Web Quest, character profiles, the task and a rough idea of the process.
