WebQuests
When we first looked at WebQuests earlier this week, I recall doing similar activities in high school, except the activity was on a sheet of printed paper and we looked up information on the internet to complete the activity (I believe it's the same idea though). At first, I was a little skeptical about using this in a high school math classroom, even after we completed the WebQuest on WebQuests activity. However, after I looked at some actual WebQuests for my area on Quest Garden, I found quite a few that would be great to do with my class one day. Also, the WebQuests we saw during the WebQuest on WebQuests activity seemed to be very long projects (I know one of them even spanned 15 weeks) and I wasn't sure if the activity was worth that much class time. I found a few today, though, that were just one day activities and seemed much more reasonable considering time, but also were still engaging and educational. I don't know if I feel like I am creative or knowledgeable enough to create my own WebQuest for my classroom, but maybe I could find one online to use or edit for my classroom.
