WebQuest

I really enjoyed the activity that we did involving looking at the WebQuests. That was my fist experience dealing with them, I had never really heard of them before that class! I think that they are a wonderful tool to implement in the classroom. They are fun, engaging but educational all at the same time. We did learn however, that there could be some that are not appropriate or not to the highest level. It is important to choose wisely when you are picking a WebQuest to use in the class. It must be appropriate for time, educational use, have a good format and many other aspects to be a successful WebQuest. I think it would be beneficial to use in the classroom for history projects, such as studying and researching historical figures, and they would also be great for making language arts activities fun!
