WebQuests

I have never "been on" or created a WebQuest prior to taking this class.  It definitely requires a lot of time in the design stages, but it can be used for many lessons.  I think this is something that I want to try with my students in the near future.  So many times we simply send kids to the Internet to research facts, but using a WebQuest is safer and more directed for the students.  Having a more focused intent with regards to Internet research will be helpful for my students who are not tech-saavy or are hesistant to begin using the Internet as a research tool.  I chose to do my project on the planets for 3rd grade science based on Tennessee standards.  There is so much information available, and I wanted to help streamline the whole process for my students.
