Initial Thoughts of Webquest

My first thought of Webquest is that it is very interesting. I really like how you can find basically anything and everything on here. Any subject that you are looking for, you can find it here! Although I think that this is a very creative and awesome tool for teachers, I have only once concern. My concern is that some of the websites may not be real, or true. That someone may have just made up some silly web quest. Other than that, I think that this is awesome for teachers and students. It gives students the chance to work on the computer, and on the internet.

A well-designed WebQuest combines research-supported theories with effective use of the Internet to promote dependable instructional practices.

When the Web was still young, Bernie Dodge, a professor at San Diego State University, came up with the idea of the WebQuest, a model for integrating the use of the Web in classroom activities. He defined a WebQuest as an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the Internet.
