WebQuest

Though I wasn't in-class on the day that we explored WebQuests, I looked over the course content for the day and visited the appropriate links. It seems as though WedQuests are a very useful and informative tool to facilitate learning for the generation of learners that relate best to technology. I love that WebQuests are made to make the best use of the learners time. There are WebQuests of both short and long duration and they include an introduction, a task, a set of information sources, a description of the process, guidance, and the conclusion. The Wiki on WebQuests lays out all of this information, but I didn't exactly get it until I did the "rockstar" activity. It was a quick and easy way to gain and organize information. It allowed me to walk through the website and gather the information available on the topic. It was informative and easily mastered after looking at the web resources about WebQuests listed on our course website. I think that WebQuests could definitely be used as activities in classrooms, both high school and elementary school, according to content.
