Webquest Reflection

I guess we were supposed to reflect on our webquest too... so here it goes..

I liked using zunal.com. It really helped me with organizing and producing my webquest, it gave good tips and helped me know what I needed for each part. My webquest helps students realize that differences are what makes us who we are and that we all bring variety to society. It's a good thing. If I had more time or energy, I'd invite people from diverse cultures talk to them over a podcast or online interview. I'd also put multicultural interactive sites for my kids on my webquest too (unfortunately, they either don't exist or are super hard to find). The planning sheet helps to organize your ideas, but it didn't really help me since I hadn't figured out what I wanted to do with my topic just yet. The peer evaluation helps with the improvement process. You get to know how others see your page and think of what you created.

I learned that webquests take a lot of time and energy to create. Once you have all of your resources, know what and how you're going to present it, then it's easy to put together online. The hard part is planning everything out to the last detail--grading, process, resources, etc. But I do think that webquests are a really good idea for students to participate in. They can interact with information better than if they used only books from the school's library.
