Webquests (WQ)

The three webquests we looked at, varied greatly the first one, the tiger cubs one, was way to boring, it was a just a lot of information, which would not be very interesting, the second one, the borden murder trial was interesting, although none of the links worked, they all came up with errors, and this would be exceptionally frustrating for a group of students, thney cannot reach any of the information that they need, so they tend not to learn anything. the third one was more interesting, the rubric was very clear, it was colourful and interesting with links that worked and information was clear and concise.

before reading the powerpoint presentation, i was a little stuck as to what a webquest was, now i understand, and realise the need to keep it updated and fun
