 WebQuest
Direct has created several WebQuests for Australian school students including
-
Career WebQuest Designed
for students in Years 10 - 12 investigating career options. In the first
challenge of this WebQuest, students have to, after investigating
profiles of their clients, as a team allocate the most suited career. In
the second challenge, students are shown some life hiccups that will
happen to their clients and are asked to find the most suited career to
cope with that hiccup. And, in the third challenge, students are to look
at their own profile but within the team come up with the most suited
careers.
