WebQuest

Ahh. The WebQuest : ) I have to say this was probably the most time consuming thing we have done yet this semester. At least for me it was. And I don't even feel that great about it. I think it's good, but I think I could have done better. It was more difficult than I thought it would be to keep everything coherent and organized. I think part of my problem was that I wanted to include so much information, that it was hard to decide what to include. I could have kept adding websites for the kids to look at, but I didn't really have any good follow up assignment for some of them. But, I still kind of liked it. As far as an assignment goes, I liked the freedom to do it on a topic of my choice. From a teacher's perspective, I like the level of thought it encourages in the students. I really don't know if I will be doing more of these as a teacher. I am going to be a special education resource teacher, so it's likely that I will be modifying whatever the regular ed. teacher is doing, so I just might! I am glad that I will at least have some experience to bring to the table if I am ever asked to work with one!
