WebDilemma Workshop

 

Designed to support intellectual engagement using the internet as a resource, a WebDilemma is typically, a single page website that (1) Presents in the form of a question, a real-world problem that has significance beyond the classroom; (2) Problematizes knowledge by providing links to websites that offer perspectives supporting both sides of the dilemma (the affirmative and negative cases); (3) Uses a THINK-PAIR-SHARE strategy to promote collaborative problem solving.
