I just watched the four-part series on Web Quests that Professor Luongo recommended on the syllabus. I am very much looking forward to creating my first Web Quest. If it seems to be feasible for my students to use it for a major assignment, I will more than likely use it in my curriculum for next year.
In years past, I have given the students one project per marking period, but I have been looking for new ways to differentiate instruction and I am crossing my fingers that the Web Quest is the best way to do so. Also, students have always asked numerous questions regarding the project, so I am hoping that the Web Quest will alleviate most of these questions in the future.
I am curious if anyone that has ever completed a Web Quest before can give me some pointers? The video did an above average job at explaining what a Web Quest was and the basics of setting one up, but I was wondering if anyone has any tips or pointers in reference to the Web Quests? Are there any problems that I should be aware of with the website that we are using or hints I should be aware of before I begin? Any advice is appreciated. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for posting this discussion.
Have you signed up for QuestGarden yet?
Once you do, log in and "play". They have many examples and hints for creating WebQuests.
I cannot wait to see what you develop.
Hi Mark,like you I am looking forward in trying it with my students! I also teach high school level science. My goal is give them my quest for this marking period! Send me an e-mail maybe we can brainstorm together! Mine is about a news flash that students have to report on to their readers the facts!
