Webercise

Digital Unit Plan Lesson 3: Webercise A webercise is a web-based learning activity. Webercises are exercises on the content knowledge that use Internet Search and Retrieval. Webercises model the use of valid sources of information as well as allow adolescents to access information in their preferred approach. They can also make use of current information that may not be included in your textbook. Webercises can be used at the beginning, middle, or at the end of a unit. They can rely on sites designed just for students or they can make use of other informational sites.
 * WHAT'S A WEBERCISE?**

As the teacher, you could plan to take your classes to a computer lab, or you could assign the webercise as homework, extra credit, or group work. One critical requirement of webercises is that students ONLY search where you direct them. This helps minimize a variety of risks and keeps students focused on what you want them to focus on! Check out the example of the Poinsettia Webercise created for a Chicano Studies class.
