Conclusion

=@Final Thoughts & Wrap up=

1. I think webquests done right are a good idea. But many of the one's I have seen and used, are really group projects with a hotlist,
(i.e.Where in the United States is Carmen Sandiego? http://www.zunal.com/webquest.php?w=107604)

==== Another kind of webquest, that really isn't is the type that is an interactive worksheet. Secret Agent to the Rescue is an example of one that Zunal also has on their website. The factor they all have in common is that the are activities for the sake of knowledge, but not activities for the sake of meaning. ==== ==== When I think of quest, I think of a search for something so important to me that I have to find it. I can't stop till I do. I understand that this is an overstatement for a webquest, but the idea of meaning should be there, and what I gain at the end should be lasting. ==== Bernie Dodge, ofSan Diego State University states: WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet. I would rephrase that to say, "WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity, that is driven by meaning and relevance.... The main affordance would be situation practice to use investigative skills and come to discovery. The web has so much to offer in terms of information. It also affords the students to work with the multimodal tools they are so used to doing and reading and learning from a literacy set they already know. WebQuesting could be used with other technologies by using the others as a forum for talking about what the webquest uncovered, technologies such as a blog or flicker or wiki.
