For my Webquest Project I have decided to have the students read, Dear. Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary. The students will be responsible to write blogs, which will be based on the pages they have read on a certain day. Each blog has different topics that the students will need to respond too. Also, the students will be responsible for commenting on their peers blogs, which will hopefully allow the students to feel accountable for their work. Lastly, I would encourage my students to try to contact a modern day author, just as the main character did in the story.
So far, I have not had any problems with my QuestGarden in itself. I have used the browser Mozilla Firefox as my professor has suggested and everything has been working as smooth as possible. The only time I felt frustrated with QuestGarden was when I had to add pictures to my Webquest. I didn't like how I had to download the image to my computer and then upload it from there. I like how Livebinders does it, because then it automatically credits where the picture was taken from too.
At this point, I have inputted my text, added pictures and included a rubric to my Webquest. I feel that I need to go back and re-read that my process makes sense and that I have proofread it. At this point I am not sure what exactly I still want to add, because I really want to focus if my Webquest Project in general is a good concept as a whole. I really like the idea of Webquest and I am curious to know if this resource is used a lot in the classroom. I feel that it does take time to make one, but I can see the benefits it would have for students and teachers to be on the same page.
