Webquest

I've been working on my webquest the last couple of weeks.  It was a little harder than what I thought, but once I found a groove I was able to get it close to done.  According to Internet Expeditions website, "Bernie Dodge, a Professor of Education at San Diego State University, coined the term “WebQuest” in 1995 to describe an inquiry-based activity that involves students in using web-based resources and tools to transform their learning into meaningful understandings and real-world projects. Rather than spending substantial time using search tools, most or all of the information used by learners is found on pre-selected websites. Students can then focus on using web-based information to analyze, synthesis, and evaluate information to address high-level questions".   I had never heard of these before and was a little scared of what to do.  I had a bit of an issue figuring out what to do as far as a topic, but I eventually had a creative spark.  There are loads of resources out there to help you if you would like to make one on your own.  There also hundreds of webquests already made on any topic that you are looking for.  Here are some links that can help you when you are ready: Questgarden, Zunal and Internet Expeditions.
