Elementary WebQuest


1. I think the best WebQuests are Ice Cream and Ancient Egypt. They are the most fun, engaging, and they integrate group work in a successful way.
2. The two worst are Where Is My Hero? and Grow School Greens. They are not very organized and they don't incorporate group work well, it's mostly individual and then compiling it later.
3. To me best means it is engaging and educational for the student and also is able to connect them together. Worst means it is poorly organized, difficult and/or boring.

1. Quality teaching is the transformation of content
2. New technologies are tricky because they are opaque
3. Even though print and writing are great things, at some point there are aspects that are lost in the transition
