WebQuests are Great!

I was not aware of what a WebQuest or even heard of the term until Dr. Z's Seminar class, I took Summer I.  I was looking at some other classmates WebQuests they created while taking Using the Internet in Education.  I was intrigued by what I saw.  The first thing I noticed on the syllabus for this class was the creation of a WebQuest.

I was surprised on how long it took me to decide on an idea for my WebQuest.  I wanted to create something I could actually use next year in my classroom in September.  After sitting with my laptop watching HGTV, I finally decided on creating a bedroom.  I was surprised with how long it took me to create my WebQuest, but I really loved doing it.  QuestGarden is a very user-friendly program.  The rubric that is created within QuestGarden is very helpful.  I always include rubrics with my students projects, but they seem to lose them.  Using QuestGarden, everything is available in one place online.  I plan on buying a subscription to this site, most of the projects we do in my class can be in a WebQuest which would provide me access to these and the availability to share with colleagues.  I think my students will be excited to work with a WebQuest.
