I found the diversity of the Webquest topics very interesting. After spending a few hours exploring the projects and riding the link waves, I've compiled the following lists from each Webquest to highlight the areas I felt were the most effective at engaging students and encouraging diversity awareness.
Collecting: * Group discussion based on focusing question (self-reflective questions) * Find cards focus on the why of choosing items * Project suggests the incorporation of personal artwork, as well as music, spoken word, or text
Around the World in 80 Minutes * Dynamic, inviting layout * Engaging introduction * Focus on culture * Documentation of exploration (via screenshots) * Encourages artists to learn/grow/change/adapt (varying tag) * Why questions promote meaningful learning * Mission: tell a story reflecting culture and public art's personal influences
Self Exploration * Lino encourages collaboration * Focus on gender stereotyping * Encourages self-reflection for intro activity
Memory * Open-ended interview questions seek stories of personal experience or emotional response * Imagery symbolizes relationship * Encourages mindfulness of the experience and connection with the interviewee and artwork * Documentation of interview audio
Water * Flow of Prezi mimics the fluidity of water * Clear cultural comparisons * Imagery reinforces purpose
