It's important to remember that incorporating hands on technology assignments for your students must be accompanied by a little technology training. If students aren't given the tools needed to complete their assignments, it can lead to frustration. You know how it feels as teachers when a new software system is rolled out with minimal training-- AGH!If you are asking your students to complete a webquest, you want the majority of their time to be spent on learning the subject rather than experiencing technical difficulties. A simple handout provided beforehand with suggested internet addresses can get them started. If you are working with a new technology, it may be helpful to provide them with a handout with screen captures that guides them through the necessary steps.
