Abstract

151 Global Warming: A Heated Debate is an interdisciplinary WebQuest project developed to target science and technology content standards in the State of Maine Learning Results. By implementing this interdisciplinary, technology-based group research project, we hoped that students would become more interested and involved in their learning, better understand and practice research skills, be able to retrieve more current Internet information for their research projects, support each other in their learning, and have a better understanding 152 of reliable and unreliable Internet resources. This paper outlines our project in trying to implement technology into our teaching. We reflect on our experiences as well as provide suggestions for others.
