Webquests

I was pretty frustrated by the webquests we looked at during class it seemed like everything that we looked st was linking students to a worksheet that they needs to print out. That's not really a webquest to me. It just seemed like we were putting these worksheets on a website as a link so we could call it a webquest. That said, I think the webquest thing can be a useful tool in the classroom. Students get a sense of autonomy as they use the directions to navigate their way through the lesson. I also think, if done correctly, that a webquest is a good way to liven up the classroom and break away from the normal (and often mundane) way things are typically done in classrooms.
