WebQuests

WebQuest were something that I was not familiar with at all before Tuesday, but now that I have looked at several and seen what use they can be in the classroom, they can be a value tool in helping students understand material as well as breaking up the normal class work and standard group work into something more fun. Another aspect that I like about this WebQuest is that the provide real world application, something that many students do not see in the science classroom. Many of these WebQuest show you just how and when you can and will use this in real life. Creating Webquests or using some that have already been created is something that I can see myself doing in my classroom. I think that they can serve as a valuable resource, as long as they are not over used, because if they become over used the novelty of them wares off and students begin to see them as just another mundane assignment.
