Mmmm, WebQuests.
What an adventure.
My group had an interesting time analyzing our WebQuests.
I feel like people will use different WebQuests based on the goals they have for their students or based on how they like for things on the Web to be organized.
We saw many different types of WQ's, but it was clear that the best ones were very organized and asked the students to metacognitively use the web to learn more about topics.
Personally, I think that WQ's should only be used when in-class work and worksheets cannot be used. Merely using a WebQuest to give instructions seems like a waste of time for everyone, the teacher could just type up the instructions and pass them out!
However when the WQ asks the student to utilize resources on the Web, then it seems fun and necessary.
