The usefulness of WebQuests:
- Teachers can set up a "guided lesson" that students can complete more independently and at their own pace.
- Teachers can create WebQuests as a starting point or a supplement to a larger study in class, so that students have a jumping off point for internet research.
Discoveries:
- The original tool to make WebQuests is a little finnicky and outdated, it is much easier to use tools such as Google Sites, or WordPress to create one.
- It has some great uses in the classroom as I discussed above, in my particular age-group (3-5 year olds) it may be a little text heavy to be useful as independent work.
- It can be used as a place to collect videos and links to games, as a collection of resources on a particular lesson, however I think there are better ways to do this than using a WebQuest.
