This was my first experience with using WebQuest. I thought it was a very interesting concept. I love the idea of integrating technology and internet into a lesson and letting the students "do the driving." The biggest concern to me was how legitimate some of the WebQuests are. Some of the sites that I experienced were very strong, and others were very weak. One site in particular was weak in that it had many spelling errors and the colors were not very visually pleasing. Others were strong because they are direct and visually appealing for users.
In the classroom, I would use some of these WebQuests that are already made, and I would also consider making my own. I love the organization of the step-by-step progress. And each child can work at their own pace. This would be fantastic in a classroom that has the ability to have many students on the computers at once.
