Web Quest Activity - Step 1

I chose the role of The Technophile: You love this internet thang. To you, the best WebQuest is one that makes the best use of the technology of the Web. If a WebQuest has attractive colors, animated gifs, and lots of links to interesting sites, you love it. If it makes minimal use of the Web, you'd rather use a worksheet.

The two best web quests I found in this activity were: The Diary of John Wilkes Booth and Creative Encounters. I felt that both of these websites were successful in the creation of the webquest and the activities associated with the webquest. Both of these webquest seemed to provide a great learning environment in which the students were engaged. Each website was also successful in providing links to additional pages to explain concepts and material being used. I think these were great webquests. After getting the Acient Egypt Webquest to load - I also found it very similar to that of the ones listed above and felt that it provided a variety of links on the internet that were valuable to the conent being studied. I know I was only suppose to chose two but all three of these were sucessful for me.

The two worst webquests were: The Problem with Landfills and War Poetry. I do not feel that the Landfill webquest provided enough links to aid in the learning process. I felt the navigation through the War Poetry webquest was difficult and confusing to follow - it had multiple links but I did not like the way the navigation or flow through the webquest was set-up.
