WebQuests

I was generally aware of what WebQuests were prior to the beginning of class on Monday the 20th but I was not aware of how often they were now being used. In my high school career, I do not remember using them as much as they are likely used today. I am intrigued about the idea of supplementing any readings I amy have with a WebQuest that makes the students delve deeper into themes and ideas that they may not see otherwise. I am a fan of any means of accomplishing this task, but students will likely be more accepting of using the internet and a WebQuest than a worksheet. It will definitely keep their interest longer and that alone(not to mention saving paper) makes the use of WebQuests something that will likely find its way into my classroom. QuestGarden makes this a much more accessible tool to create than I would have assumed which gives me all the more reason to go ahead and contemplate where all WebQuests can be used.
