Webquest

Today we learned about webquest and how to find different lessons that you could incorporate into your classroom. I thought that it was a pretty sweet website to use for your class. There was something for pretty much any content area for any grade level. The only thing is that it is kind of a hit and miss, because you might need or want a specific lesson but it won't be on the webquest. So its a matter of finding something to use that is already there. I thought that it was good for the classroom and a great way to integrate technology into the classroom. For the most part i thought that they were really good for for the students. However, i thought that some of the webquests that were on there weren't really something that you did online. They were things that would needed to be done in the classroom with other materials and not on-line. I understand that that needs to happen sometimes as well, I just thought that some of them could of been more involved on line and not so much based in the classroom. But for the most part I really liked the idea and it is something that I think the students would love to work on in the classroom. It seems like it would be really beneficial to the students as well as being very motivational to the students as well. I would love to create a new webquest for my own lesson sometime and really develop a good lesson for my own students as well as for future teachers. I really liked how it incorporates and integrates more than one subject area and made it a great learning experience for the students. :D
